| STANDARD PROGRAM |
|
The
standard membership plan is $38.50 per month, with an initial $73.50
sign-up fee ($35.00 enrollment + $38.50 first month�s dues). A portion
of the dues establishes each member with a legal fund ATLA applies
toward attorney payments. Professional drivers are protected from the
first day of joining. We fight all moving violations, big rig and
private auto, in the United States and Canada. We fight pending CDL
suspensions. Hassle, overweight, parking, and equipment tickets are
fought on a case-by-case basis upon a free review. DAC problems are
tackled. ATLA pays the first $100 toward the discounted, flat-rate,
attorney fee. Monthly statements are mailed to members. Payment by
members can be done on-line, automatic bank account withdrawal, debit
card, credit card, com check, money gram, Western Union, personal
check, and money order. Cancellation of enrollment for all programs
must be done by the member, in writing, via fax or regular mail. |
| PRE-EXISTING PROGRAM |
Professional
drivers join under this program if they already have a ticket, or
tickets, to fight. Tickets with pending court dates fall under this
program. We preview tickets that are old, with court dates passed, for
possible success. Hassle, overweight, parking and equipment tickets are
fought on a case-by-case basis after free review. Members joining under
the Pre-Existing Program establish their legal fund with 8 months of
dues at $399.50 with one ticket. (Payment arrangements available.) Each
additional ticket setup fee is $64.00. No dues are paid for 8 months.
Dues then begin again at $38.50 monthly. The Pre-Existing Program is a
commitment of one year's membership. Members pay the discounted
attorney fee for each pre-existing ticket. ATLA pays $100 for attorney
fees on future tickets. |
| REFERRAL PROGRAM |
For
all other legal matters - civil, criminal, labor problems, DUI, child
support, DAC issues, breach of contract � ATLA connects professional
drivers with discounted, winning attorneys in those areas. A joining
member pays $137.50 ($35.00 enrollment fee, $38.50 monthly dues, and
$64.00 referral fee). Most attorneys work for members at discounted,
flat rates; varying with type of case. Current members receive
referrals free of charge. |
| COMPANY PROGRAM |
ATLA
offers discounted rates to companies that join with a minimum of 5
drivers. Companies send one monthly payment to cover all members;
although each driver has an individual membership. The Company Program
is effective is keeping employees on the road - not in court. Insurance
rates stay down as tickets are won. |
