There was a time when CDL drivers were treated no different than any other driver facing a DUI or DWI, but now if you are convicted of any alcohol-related driving offense, even if you are in your own car, you could lose your CDL, potentially for years. If that happens, you will lose more than just your license. You will lose your career.
There are additional laws against drinking and driving in your truck. If you are caught drinking and driving on the job, you may be more likely to go to prison, and it could happen more quickly. Everyone in the system, including judges, is aware that drivers with CDLs are treated harshly. Even if they are sensitive to your personal case, they know they have a responsibility to take the charges very seriously.
It is up to your attorney to make sure you do everything you can for the challenges ahead. It starts with the same approach as for any criminal charge: evaluate the case and fashion as many holes in that case as possible. When we have discovered any problems, we will explore all opportunities to have your charges dismissed or reduced because of those problems - either through negotiation or litigation and trial.
