For commercial drivers, New Jersey traffic offenses are governed by N.J.S.A. Title 39 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic Regulation). A conviction for a serious moving violation like reckless driving under § 39:4-96 can lead to a 60-day CDL disqualification for a first offense. The stakes are uniquely high for professional drivers, as even minor infractions carry points that accumulate toward suspension and trigger costly insurance surcharges. The firm, founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, focuses on the specific challenges faced by CDL holders.

Local Court Process for CDL Holders
Camden County Municipal Court at 101 South Fifth Street handles all traffic cases. For truck drivers, the process is critical because New Jersey reports CDL convictions to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). A common defense strategy is negotiating a charge reduction—for example, from a 5-point reckless driving violation down to a 2-point careless driving offense—which can prevent a CDL disqualification. The NJ surcharge system adds $100 per year for each point over 6, paid for three years.

Will a ticket affect my commercial driver’s license (CDL)?
It depends on the violation. Most moving violations are considered “serious traffic violations” for CDL holders. Two serious violations within three years can lead to a 60-day CDL disqualification. A single major offense like reckless driving can cause a 60-day to one-year disqualification. Immediate legal help is crucial.
Should I just pay a traffic ticket if I have a CDL?
No. Paying a ticket is an admission of guilt, which leads to points on your record and a conviction reported to the FMCSA. This can trigger CDL disqualification and job loss. You should always consult with a truck driver traffic violation lawyer Camden County to explore your defense options first.
