CDL Violations

Driving is more than a task – its your career and way of life. Commercial truckers are seldom set up for success. First, there’s the stress of long hours on lonely highways and strict timelines. Then add traffic conditions, weather hazards and road closures, and it can easily seem your mission is impossible.

Arizona trucking laws are already among the most stringent in the country. Unlike ordinary vehicles, probable cause isn’t necessary to get pulled over. With tougher mandates under the Compliance Safety Accountability (CSA) program, commercial truckers also deal with invasive inspection processes. At every stop, police aim to find violations – costing truck drivers hours of time, delayed deliveries and ultimately, their jobs.
