Commercial drivers, or drivers holding a Commercial Driver License (CDL),
are held to more stringent standards than regular drivers. CDL holders convicted of an alcohol and/or drug-related offenses are no longer eligible for conditional licenses.

Commercial drivers who refuse to take a chemical test can have their license revoked for at least 18 months and must pay a $550 civil penalty in order to apply for a new license.  Additionally, commercial drivers who are repeat offenders of alcohol and drug-related offenses, including chemical test refusals, can face permanent license revocation.

If you are a commercial driver facing DWI or DUI charges, your concerns extend beyond the basic criminal charges, but to your employment as well.
