Trucking / Transportation Law
Arkansas, Transportation Attorney
The transportation industry operates under its own set of regulations and laws. Even the "business" 
end of a trucking business will encounter issues and disputes that are unique to truckers. That's why it's wise to work with a law firm that has experience with - and focuses on serving - the trucking industry and truckers.
The Arkansas trucking attorneys at Hixson & Daniels, PLLC have extensive experience with transportation law. We understand the issues that can arise, often through no fault of the trucking company. Whatever the concern or legal dispute, we can help, with business counsel, contract review and drafting, and representation in court. Contact our transportation lawyers for a free initial consultation.
Transportation Business Issues
Transportation law involves relationships between motor carriers, shippers and logistic companies. Often, long-standing business and personal relationship have been strained. In his 10 years serving as general counsel for a large transportation company, Mr. Hixson learned that at times, artful diplomacy is more fruitful than aggressive litigation.

DOT and other Trucking Violations
Fines for DOT violations can quickly add up to thousands of dollars, jeopardizing a trucking business and/or an individual trucker's commercial drivers' license. We defend and negotiate on behalf of trucking companies in DOT audits when an unsatisfactory decision can affect your business rating. We handle cases involving:
- Log book violations, including driving too many hours
- Out of permit violations and weight violations
- Equipment violations
- Driver hiring problems
- Driving violations
- Scale violations: Pulling out of scale line too soon; pulling in and leaving the truck
