What Are DOT Violations?

DOT violations are infractions of regulations set by the U.S. Department of Transportation and enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These regulations govern commercial vehicle operations, driver conduct, vehicle maintenance, cargo safety, and more. Violations are recorded in the FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS) and can affect a driver's CDL, a carrier's safety rating, and a company's operating authority. Penalties range from fines and out-of-service orders to CDL disqualification and loss of operating authority. An experienced DOT attorney can challenge violations, reduce penalties, and help restore compliance before consequences become irreversible.

Real Reviews By Real Persons

Treated me like a person, not a case number

What I appreciated most was how they handled me through the whole thing. No judgment, clear answers, no surprise fees. Case ended with a plea I could live with and I'm already past it. Can't recommend them enough.

Jessica L, WA

Never had to leave the truck

I got a hours-of-service violation three states away from home. My attorney appeared for me — I did not lose a single load. Fine was cut in half, no CSA points, and I kept rolling. That's the service a driver actually needs.

Sean M, MI

Saved my CSA score and my carrier contract

My fleet manager told me one more violation and I'd be off the account. My lawyer got the weight violation reduced to a non-CSA offense and I kept my route. They understand trucking — not every attorney does.

Vince O, PA

Got a logbook violation dismissed

A roadside inspection flagged my logs and I was staring at serious fines and CSA points. My attorney challenged the inspection, got the violation dismissed, and kept my record clean. Eighteen years driving — I am keeping this firm's number.
