A "traffic ticket" issued by a Louisiana State Police Trooper to a Commercial Driver's License Operator is NOT an ordinary traffic ticket.

It is called a Louisiana Department of Public Safety, Office of State Police, Motor Carrier Unit, "Notice of Violation" and has an entirely different process than a traffic ticket from a Parish Sheriff's Deputy or City or Town Police Officer.

Briefly, this is how the process works: a truck driver or other commercial vehicle operator is pulled over by a State Police Trooper and issued a "Driver/Vehicle Examination Report" wherein a violation is alleged, whether it be for: speeding, weight overload, or log book violation for example.

One to four weeks from the date of the traffic stop on the roadside, the Driver will receive in the U.S. Mail, at the address that appears on the Driver's license, a letter from the Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections, Louisiana State Police, Motor Carrier Unit entitled: "NOTICE OF VIOLATION" detailing the violation alleged during the traffic stop.

There is quite a bit of confusing small print language on the Notice of Violation paperwork, but it is all important information. The most important point is that the defendant must take action regarding the Notice of Violation; 45 days for speeding and log book violations, 60 days for overweight limit violations. Within those time periods the fine must be paid in full, or a request for an Administrative Hearing must be sent to the Office of State Police, Motor Carrier Unit.

Paul Massa, Attorney at Law represents Commercial Motor Carrier Drivers at the Administrative Hearings to contest the Notice of Violations in speeding cases.

After I have been retained, I timely Request the Administrative Hearing, then Schedule the Administrative Hearing Date on the Docket, and appear on behalf of the driver at the Administrative Hearing to defend the rights of my clients. Clients are not required to appear in person at the Administrative Hearing when I am their legal representative.
