Drivers Legal Plan Renews ATA Featured Product Agreement
ARLINGTON, Va., June 24, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, American Trucking Associations announced Drivers Legal Plan, a national law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of truck drivers and the interests of trucking companies, has renewed as an ATA Featured Product provider.
"Motor carriers understand that professional truck drivers need legal protection, and it's in the best interest of carriers to take every available measure to protect drivers from unnecessary legal proceedings," said ATA President and CEO Bill Graves. "We all want what's best for our drivers and providing legal protection is an added benefit that helps truck drivers - but it can also improve a company's retention rate."
Drivers Legal Plan's legal representation is dedicated to the defense of a driver's record and a motor carrier's safety profile and rating. Since the advent of the CDL, the firm has handled over 350,000 cases in essentially every jurisdiction in the country. According to Drivers Legal Plan, they maintain a one-of-a-kind database of cases involving moving or non-moving violations, citations and accidents, and is one of the largest filers of DataQ challenges in the country.
"We have supported the trucking industry for 25 years and are proud to further show our support through involvement with the ATA Featured Product program," said Brad Klepper, executive vice president and general counsel at Drivers Legal Plan. "Stepped up enforcement activity and the need to retain safe drivers has made taking proactive steps to promptly address safety issues more critical for drivers and trucking companies, and we fully support those initiatives as long as drivers receive fair and uniform treatment in all jurisdictions. As an ATA Featured Product provider, Drivers Legal Plan is enabling drivers to protect their most important asset – the ability to earn a living."
