Protect your license. Protect your livelihood.
A citation isn’t just a hassle — it can hit your record, your pay, and your time.
Our CDL Defender plans give drivers and employers the legal protection they need to keep moving forward. We cover 100% of attorney fees for covered violations, with no hourly caps, deductibles, or hidden costs.
Why drivers choose us
Violations can sideline you and ripple through your CSA, insurance, and employment record. Our CDL Defender plan is built for what actually happens on the road — from speeding, lane, equipment, and overweight citations to logbook or HOS issues. Our network of attorneys covers the 48 contiguous states and handles both non-criminal and DOT violations. We pay 100% of attorney fees for covered matters, while you stay focused on your route.
When timing really matters, you’re covered with 24/7 emergency support, help for roadside inspections, and DataQ challenge assistance to correct your record after favorable outcomes. Add optional identity protection and mobile app access to manage it all on the go.
