Commercial Driver’s Legal Plan

If you earn a living as a commercial truck driver, you know how important it is to have a clean driving record. For only $32.95 per month, the LegalFix Commercial Driver's Legal Plan covers you and your spouse for a variety of legal issues related to your career as a truck driver and helps ensure your ability to continue to support yourself and your family.

If you are employed by a trucking company, your employer's insurance policies and the insurance company's attorneys are primarily focused on protecting the trucking company and its officers—they are not focused on protecting your interests.

The reality is that whether you work for a trucking company or have your own big rig and work as an independent contractor, your driving record is your responsibility—and having a clean one is essential to your livelihood. Driving safely is the best way to ensure you have a clean driving record, but it's always a good idea to have a backup plan—and that backup plan should be a legal plan from LegalFix.

A LegalFix Legal Plan for commercial drivers is just $32.95/month. Once you have a Commercial Driver's Legal Plan, your attorney can give you legal advice on issues related to moving violations; nonmoving violations; licensing and loss of driving privileges; criminal charges arising from motor vehicle accidents; help with recovery of property damage claims to your rig or other commercial equipment or to your personal motor vehicle (up to 2.5 hours of attorney time and up to $2,000); and help with recovery of personal injury damages from a motor vehicle accident (up to 2.5 hours of attorney time and up to $2,000).
