What a cdl & commercial driver ticket costs in Montana
| Typical fine | Same statutory fines as other drivers — disqualification is the real exposure |
|---|---|
| License points | Standard Montana point values, with federal CDL rules stacked on top |
| Insurance impact | A serious-violation conviction can price you out of commercial coverage and out of jobs with carriers that audit MVRs. |
| License risk | Two serious violations in 3 years = 60-day CDL disqualification; three = 120 days. Masking or deferring CDL convictions is federally prohibited. |
