Many Americans depend on a commercial driver's license (CDL) for their livelihood. Without a license that allows them to operate commercial vehicles, these individuals would be left unemployed and without means to provide for themselves or their families. This is why a commercial DUI can prove so devastating for someone holding a CDL.
If you are a commercial driver who has been arrested and charged with DUI, it is critically important that you secure committed and aggressive legal representation.

Charges Associated with Commercial DUI
Intoxicated driving charges can range beyond just a DUI. Depending on a person's actions during a violation, they may be charged with a variety of different criminal charges that can impact their commercial driving rights.
Crimes that may affect a CDL holder's privileges can include the following:
- DUI
- Driving a commercial vehicle over an intoxication limit of 0.04 BAC
- Hit-and-run or other vehicular violence charges
- DUI for minors
These allegations can have a massive impact on a person's life, as they may leave that individual without the ability to restore their CDL. In these situations, a person may need to find a new job in an entirely different career field.
