What Happens if I Am Convicted of DWI as a Commercial Driver?

Although the legal limit for non-commercial drivers is a blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent, the legal limit for commercial driver's license (CDL) holders is .04 percent when operating a commercial vehicle.

If you are convicted of DWI as a commercial driver, you could face a Class B misdemeanor charge, which could result in a fine of up to $2,000, jail time of up to 180 days, or both. Additionally, your CDL will be disqualified for 1 year (or 3 years, if transporting hazardous materials at the time of the arrest). A second or subsequent offense can result in lifetime CDL disqualification.

Remember, you could lose your CDL if your BAC if at least .08 percent while driving your personal vehicle.
