ticket in nj

250 to keep points and insurance down. That's easy, pay the money. He makes a living by his license, do what it takes to protect it.

 

Back in the day, this was standard operating procedure for truckers. You get a ticket, you first call the court clerk and see what he/she may be able to offer in lieu of court appearance, then you go to the yellow pages in that area and start calling attorneys until you find one who's interested. I haven't gotten a ticket in over 15 years but -most- of the lawyers out there who did that sort of thing then could be trusted, however, that said, you can find one, send them money and get zero out of the attorney. It's a crap shoot, but at the very least if you do work with one, and they don't keep you updated regularly, make sure you call them to see if they're awake and doing their job.

 

Even if it costs you $1,000 for a lawyer get one. That license and his record are the keys to income.

Of course research/find reviews about the laywer before you hire him/her.

 

Schneider in the third lane....my o my. Hope he gets it taken care of.

 

Exactly, I have a good life. I wouldn't know how to make a living if I couldn't truck. Of all my possessions though, my CDL is my favorite and most precious. I'd sell my house, cars and all my toys to protect it. Because without it I have no idea how I would ever get any of the others back.

 

Give him a break...He was trying to pass the other pumpkins

 

Should have it framed

 

I had a similar problem in Ohio. I went to court myself, explained to the judge that I screwed up and my record (clean then as now) indicated this ticket was an obvious aberration. He told me to be more careful next time, fined me $100 (could have ben as much as $500) and agreed to suspend for a year the points as I had asked. After the year with no other violations, the incident didn't appear on my record. It can't hurt to go to court as long as you leave the attitude at home. I wouldn't pay a lawyer more than the maximum a fine could be.
