Commercial Driving DUI Attorney

How Will a DUI Affect Your CDL License?

If you have recently been charged with driving under the influence, it is important to realize that the ramifications of a DUI can be absolutely devastating. This, however, is never truer than if you are in possession of a CDL and drive large commercial trucks for a living. For professional truck drivers, DUI penalties can be devastating, and can have life-altering consequences. Although the legal limit for most drivers is 0.08%, if you are a professional truck driver, the threshold is much lower.

In fact, if you register at 0.04%, you will be considered to be above the legal limit. Not only this, but at your first conviction, you will lose your CDL license for up to a year. If you are charged with a second DUI, you will permanently lose your license, and in essence, your livelihood. If you do not have a CDL license, you cannot professional drive a truck and therefore, you will not be able to continue in your line of employment. For this reason, it is absolutely imperative that you do not hesitate to secure the necessary legal defense of an aggressive DUI lawyer from our firm as soon as possible.
