Representing Commercial Drivers Arrested for Drunk Driving
Truckers and others who rely on a commercial drivers' license (CDL) for their livelihood face even more severe consequences following a drunk driving arrest. Even if arrested in you personal vehicle at the time, your CDL can be suspended — this affects your very livelihood. It is vitally important that you also remember that the BAC threshold is lower for CDL holders than it is for standard license holders. In California, a drunk driving charge can be filed against someone operating a vehicle with a BAC of .08 or greater; for a CDL holder, that threshold is much lower, only .04 or greater. You need the help of an experienced lawyer who fully understands the consequences of losing your commercial license to help you protect your rights, your freedom and your ability to earn a living.
