CDL DUI Penalties if Convicted
As a commercial driver, the penalties you face for a conviction can have a major impact on your life and your career. Anyone with a CDL who is charged with a drunk driving can face a wide range of penalties beyond regular drivers.
These include the following punishment if convicted:
- One-year suspension of CDL for one year for a first offense and up to three years if you are transporting hazardous materials.
- Your CDL will be revoked for a minimum of ten years for a second or third offense.
Building Your DUI Charge Defense
Federal CDL rules limit the BAC to half the legal limit for regular drivers. If you are a regular driver over the age of 21, you are not allowed to drive with the bodily alcohol content (BAC) of over .08 or greater. However, individuals with a CDL are not allowed to operate vehicle with a BAC of .04 or greater. Employers follow a strict no tolerance policy in regards to drug and alcohol use for individuals operating commercial vehicles. Under federal law, you can be randomly tested for drug or alcohol abuse by your employer.
In addition to workplace testing under Michigan’s Implied Consent Law, all drivers are required to submit to a BAC test if pulled over. While serving as your defense, we will look for any issues related to your test. We will examine how the test was given to ensure law enforcement followed proper procedures during its administration. Our investigation will help us build the best defense for you in your case.

We represented 111 of the 333 survivors in the lawsuits against Michigan State University for sexual abuse involving the former MSU doctor, Larry Nassar.
