Penalties for CDL Violations
Violating CDL regulations in Florida can lead to severe penalties that impact your career and driving privileges.
Some common penalties for CDL violations include:
- License suspension or revocation - Depending on the violation, your CDL may be suspended for a period ranging from 60 days to several years, or even permanently revoked. Serious offenses like DUI can result in mandatory revocation.
- Fines - CDL violations often carry hefty fines, which vary based on the severity and type of offense.
- Disqualification - Certain violations, such as DUI or improperly transporting hazardous materials, can lead to federal disqualification periods, meaning you cannot legally operate a commercial vehicle anywhere in the U.S. for a set time.
- Criminal charges - Some CDL offenses, especially those involving DUI or reckless driving, may result in misdemeanor or felony charges, leading to potential jail time.
- Employment consequences - Many employers will suspend or terminate drivers who face CDL violations, which can have a serious impact on your livelihood.
- Points on driving record - CDL holders receive points for traffic violations, and accumulating too many can lead to further penalties and suspensions.
