CVOR LAWYERS

Your business depends on keeping your Commercial Vehicles Operator’s Registration (“CVOR”) license intact. Posner Craig Stein can assist you when faced with an audit, a complaint, and to ensure regulatory compliance. We have vast experience with the Ministry of Transportation and regularly appear before the License Appeal Tribunal (“LAT”). Our attention to detail and deep understanding of your regulatory situation will help protect you and your business.

A CVOR operator is responsible for the operation of their commercial motor vehicle, including:

• The conduct of the driver, including ensuring that qualified and licensed drivers are employed, and that drivers are complying with safe hours of service.
• The mechanical condition of the vehicle, including ensuring that inspections are completed
• Ensuring that goods and/or passengers are secure and safe in the vehicle
• Keeping records
• Notifying the Ministry of Transportation of changes in registration, such as fleet data and kilometric travel
• Keeping an up-to-date CVOR certificate

The CVOR record evaluates an operator based on collisions, convictions, and roadside inspections. CVOR operators will be reviewed when their violation rate is too high. Depending on the stage, this can include disciplinary letters, interviews, audits, or sanctions. Sanctions can include limitations on an operator’s fleet, seizure of plates, and suspension or cancellation of an operator’s privileges.

Posner Craig Stein can assist you with:

• Advising you on compliance
• Applications for licensing
• Investigations and audits
• Revocation, suspension or refusal of licensing
• Appeals from negative decisions from the Ministry of Transportation
• Appeals from negative decisions from the License Appeal Tribunal.

Individuals or businesses who dispute decisions from the Ministry of Transportaiton can appeal to the LAT. Hearings before the LAT may be heard in-person and can involve hearing the examination and cross-examination of witnesses and oral submissions. Hearings can also be conducted entirely in writing, and will depend on the filing of documents, records, and written arguments.
