If you hold a commercial driver’s license and you have been arrested for DUI, it is crucial that you obtain experienced DUI defense representation right away. 

As a commercial driver you have a lot more at stake, as your job is ultimately on the line.  If convicted of drunk driving, your driver’s license will undoubtedly get suspended, if not revoked. Without a valid CDL, you will no longer be able to work, and your employer may not keep you on staff.  In their eyes, you are too much of a liability. Without being able to work, how will you support yourself? Your family?  Will you be able to get another driving job in the future? If you can’t get another driving job, how will you support yourself and your family?  These are all important questions to ask yourself when faced with DUI charges. 

In addition, the laws are a lot stricter for commercial drivers.  Whereas the normal blood alcohol concentration limit is .08%, commercial drivers cannot drive with a BAC above .04%.
