Commercial Drivers And DUI

New Jersey drunk driving laws are tough on all drivers, but especially on those who hold commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs). The legal limit for drivers of passenger vehicles is a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08. However, the legal limit for drivers of commercial vehicles is only .04. Even if you were driving your own car at the time — not your commercial vehicle — you will still face the loss of your CDL.

Penalties can vary depending on your blood alcohol content (BAC) level and your criminal record. However, the loss of your CDL may be the most significant of all the penalties you face. While jail time certainly impacts your freedom and heavy fines may drain your bank account, your CDL is likely critical to maintaining your entire career. Don’t let it slip away without a fight.
