Commercial License Suspension
DWI Attorney Representation in Houston, Texas since 1992
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA) sets the rules for driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol (DUI) that apply to drivers with a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) while driving a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). Random drug and alcohol testing can be performed by police or by employers depending on the circumstances especially accidents.
The criteria for DUI which is a higher standard than non-commercial is a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .04 or greater, while driving either a commercial or non-commercial vehicle. Controlled substances are controlled by state laws but many of them have zero tolerance policies which require random testing by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
Suspensions or revocation of commercial driver's license has a long term effect on your employment, future employment prospects and income as suspension can vary from one to ten years or possibly for lifetime. There is only 15 days after a DUI arrest to challenge the suspension of your driver's license.
