Driver’s Legal Plan

Driver’s Legal Plan was designed in 1991 by trucking company executives who recognized that with the advent of the CDL, unnecessary traffic convictions were going to have a deep and detrimental effect on their companies’ safety profiles and driver retention records.  With CSA 2010, DOT audits and rising insurance and driver replacement costs, the days of “fire and rehire” were ending.  The basic concept of the plan is simple:  to make the highest quality legal representation available to the driver workforce and make it affordable.  www.driverslegalplan.com
