Table of Contents [Show]

Navigating the intricacies of commercial DUI regulations is paramount in safeguarding the careers of commercial drivers. Driving under the influence (DUI) is a grave offense for any driver, but for those who hold a commercial driver's license (CDL), the stakes are significantly higher. At Arnold & Placek, we provide an extensive look into these stringent regulations and offer a lifeline to commercial drivers by connecting them with skilled attorneys dedicated to preserving their livelihoods. Remember, an informed driver is an empowered driver.

For commercial drivers, the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is set at 0.04%, half of the limit for non-commercial drivers in most states. This lower threshold is a testament to the weight of responsibility carried by those who operate heavy vehicles and the commitment to safeguarding the public. When it comes to commercial DUI, the consequences are steep-a single violation can not only lead to hefty fines and legal ramifications but also to the end of a professional driving career. That's why at Arnold & Placek, we emphasize the importance of understanding these regulations to avoid the severe implications of a DUI charge.

A commercial DUI can carry penalties that ripple through every area of a driver's life. Not only does one face immediate legal concerns, but the long-term repercussions can also be profound.

Every state has its own set of laws and limits when it comes to commercial DUI, yet all are founded upon a common pillar: safety. These regulations are designed with the intent to prevent accidents and maintain the integrity of the transportation industry. Commercial drivers should have a detailed understanding of these laws as ignorance is not a defense when facing a DUI charge. Whether it's knowing the nitty-gritty of implied consent laws or the impossibility of plea bargaining, our experts are here to shed light on your journey.

Remember, commercial DUI laws don't just apply to driving the commercial vehicle itself but can extend to your personal driving as well. A DUI in your personal vehicle can have consequences for your CDL. At Arnold & Placek, we strive to ensure our clients are proficient in the laws, prepared for the unexpected, and protected against the pitfalls that could impede their careers.

Many drivers are unaware of the implications of implied consent laws that exist in most states. These laws mean that by holding a CDL, you're presumed to have given consent to chemical testing for substances. Refusal to submit to testing can lead to severe consequences, including immediate license suspension.

Our intent at Arnold & Placek is not just to inform you about these laws but also to help you understand your rights within them.

If convicted of a DUI, you may be required to install an ignition interlock device (IID) on your vehicle, including your commercial vehicle.

We want to ensure commercial drivers facing a DUI understand the full scope of potential penalties, including IIDs. At Arnold & Placek, our aim is to reduce the fear and confusion surrounding these devices and penalties, offering concrete steps and legal advice on how to maintain your driving career post-DUI.
