🚨 The ticket was $250.
The REAL cost? Closer to $5,000.
One roadside violation can lead to:
❌ Fines and penalties
❌ Increased insurance premiums
❌ CSA score impacts
❌ More inspections
❌ Lost loads or contracts
❌ Driver downtime
❌ Administrative headaches
That loose tie-down.
That expired medical card.
That missing annual inspection.
The violation itself isn’t always what hurts.
It’s everything that comes after it.
The cheapest violation is the one you prevent before the officer ever turns on the lights.
