Owner-Operators: Protect Your CDL, Control Your Costs with LegalShield’s CDLP

As an owner-operator, your CDL is more than a license—it’s your business card, your insurance policy, and your livelihood all rolled into one. One unexpected traffic violation can cost you thousands in lost loads, higher insurance premiums, and CSA points that won’t just impact your record—but your revenue.

That’s why more and more independent truckers are turning to LegalShield’s Commercial Driver Legal Plan (CDLP) to protect what matters most: their license, their business, and their future.

The Cost of a Ticket is More Than Just the Fine

You know the drill. You’re rolling through a weigh station and get hit with a citation for an over-dimensional permit error or a paperwork issue. Or you’re navigating tight city roads and get written up for a lane change or clearance violation.

It might seem minor—but even a single moving or non-moving violation can lead to:

• CSA points that follow you for years

• Increased insurance premiums

• Disqualification from certain high-paying loads

• DOT audit triggers

• Time off the road to handle court or paperwork

And unlike company drivers, you carry 100% of the financial burden—not to mention the stress and lost time.

LegalShield CDLP: Your Legal Backup on Every Mile

LegalShield’s Commercial Driver Legal Plan is designed specifically for professional CDL holders—including independent owner-operators—to give you affordable access to experienced traffic attorneys in every state you drive.

✅ Fight Tickets Without Losing Drive Time

Get legal representation for moving and non-moving violations—even if you’re far from home. In most cases, you won’t need to appear in court. Your attorney handles it.

✅ Protect Your CSA Score

LegalShield attorneys know how to challenge violations and reduce or eliminate CSA points that hurt your standing with brokers, FMCSA, and insurers.

✅ Reduce Insurance Risk

Cleaner records mean lower risk, which can help you avoid rate hikes or policy cancellations that cut into your profit margins.

✅ Save Time and Headaches

No more Googling traffic laws or making long-distance court calls. Just call your provider firm, submit the ticket, and let a professional handle the rest.

✅ Covers You in Your Personal Vehicle Too

Depending on your state, LegalShield may also help with tickets received while driving your car or pickup—not just your commercial rig.

Owner-Operator Success Story:

Kevin, an owner-operator out of Texas, was cited for failing to obey a traffic control device in Illinois. The violation came with serious CSA points and a fine that threatened his clean record and insurance rate. He called LegalShield, submitted his case, and an experienced CDL attorney appeared in court for him.

Result? The charge was reduced to a non-moving violation—no points, no insurance hike, and no time off the road.

What Does It Cost? Less Than One Tank of Fuel.

LegalShield’s CDLP plan costs less than what most drivers spend on coffee and fast food in a week, and it can save you thousands in legal fees, lost work, and insurance hikes over time.

It’s also tax-deductible as a business expense for owner-operators—another reason it just makes sense to have it in your toolkit.
