CDL driver from New York got Log Book ticket in Ontario,CA

I gotta believe it will ONLY be reported on your driving record. Not an additional charge.

 

Let me know how it goes. They have a good reputation and I am always on the look out for competent and professional legal services.

 

Canada and USA have a reciprocity agreement, all tickets now follow you.

 

For what it's worth, we have drivers that go to Toronto. There is a notice on the bulletin board that says....Attention all Toronto drivers: if you get ANY ticket in Canada, do not pay it. Contact safety. If you want I can find out further what that's about. Maybe its fightable?

 

I drive every bit of Canada, and, I've received maybe half a dozen tickets in 8 years. I don't report them to my U.S. company, and, have never heard a word about them. I got a whopper in Ontario, $500, for accumulated logbook errors (no daily miles, pre-trip unsigned [must do in morning], unit numbers instead of plate numbers, daily log unsigned [morning]). All petty crap, and, the guy was real nice, but, very picky. He let me fix two trailer lights. They were so nice (Canadians!), I wasn't even pissed. Free coffee and donuts! Once in New Brunswick, I got a stern warning over some procedural errors (like the 14 day rule). But, my U.S. company, a major carrier, never heard a word about them. Make sure you pay them on time.

Canada driving is -great-. Toronto and Montreal truly suck, and, you get to learn a little French (the road signs), but, it's the great wide open. Driving to the Yukon from Florida (4000 miles) is about as good as it gets.
