Question regarding my license and an accident

You need an attorney. For future reference, YOU are always responsible to ensure that charges against you are handled properly - never trust a carrier to do it for you. And my guess would be yeah, $1500, plus attorneys fees, court costs and administrative fees to get your license back... unless the attorney's good enough to get you off. And even that will be expensive...

 

I cant imagine a company saying they will take care of yout ticket for you. Not for a ticket of this nature anyway. Sounds like you didnt appear in court or pay the fine either, so the state suspended your DL until it's taken care of. I think there's something missing here, probably a lack of communication between you and the company. This is quite different from getting a ticket at a scale or roadside inspection in which the equipment is found defective and the company pays the fine. Did the company continue to dispatch you for those three months before you got the suspension letter or were you let go? Was the company written up for faulty equipment or anything at the time of the accident?

 

wow. A company like that should be in the "bad carriers" list. You're going to need some money...good luck. $53? For a week?

 

BTW... if you are still driving - STOP!!! Driving a CMV on a suspended license is a major violation... that is SERIOUS trouble.

 

First off, you should never entrust a third party to take care of your legal issues. Second, "the mechanical failure". I'm assuming you have some proof of this correct? Even if you do, it is still your fault for not doing a proper pre-trip, the driver always loses in this industry. By the way, if the mechanical failure happened like you said it did I am baffled on how you handled the situation. I think you need to go back to driving school and retake the section on air-brakes because the course of action you took was that of a confused student.
