There’s this app called off the record and you pay a fee to a lawyer to appear in court for you and fight your ticket off. They claim to have a really high success rate in either dismissing the charge or lowering it to something else so a point doesn’t go on your record. If they can’t they apparently give you a refund or partial refund. Has anyone ever used this app for a ticket their got while trucking does it work for CDL drivers? App seems legit. I’ve already paid my lawyer through the app to fight the charge. Half now half next month. Not sure what’s going to happen but there’s a lot of great reviews on the app …. Seen some comments on YouTube stating it doesn’t work well for cdl holders but I don’t see why it wouldn’t? …. Any thoughts anyone?

CDL:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

Being in the wrong lane. Lol. It’s $238 plus 1 point on my record if I plea guilty. With my lawyer fighting it off for me I can either get it dismissed or lowered in offense so it doesn’t go on my record as a point… don’t want my insurance going up for the next 3 years. The lawyer fee was $220 half now half next month. I communicate with him through the Off The Record app and it has good reviews. I’ll come back on a few months when case is solved with an update and full review… was just hoping someone here knew about it.

Wind;

I've been around the industry a bit, and never heard of it. COULD be kewl; hopefully some of the 'youngers' closer to your age & more 'techie' will respond.

Being in the 'wrong lane...' could you expound? Passing? Impeding traffic? Man, this could be anywhere/anything. Wrong 'right turn' lane? Hear of THAT, often!!!! City driving, usually. So much more.. ?!?

You've not been around in THREE years, man!! Who do you drive for? My dude's company hires an attorney 'FOR' him (or them) whoever may be compromised by a charge. He's not needed the service, TG.

Are you an O/O nowadays? If so, I'm thinking PJ could be of help; or the links on OOIDA.

Share more....please & thanks!

I need to look into this. Got hit last weekend by a state trooper in rural NM. I was driving the Vette. Had cruise set at 7 over. He wrote me up for 9 over. I'm sure I could get it reduced just by showing up, but I want it completely gone, ticket and all. I'm dumbfounded that I get nabbed when I'm that little over, especially considering some of the whoppers I (allegedly) have gotten.
