Las Vegas Commercial DUI Lawyer

Let Us Help You Defend Your Commercial License

Many states have much harsher penalties for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers who are caught driving under the influence (DUI). Unlike passenger vehicles, CMVs can weigh anywhere from 10,000 to 80,000 pounds, so their drivers must be extremely careful. The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of CMV drivers, therefore, tends to be much lower than that of a typical driver. For the average passenger vehicle driver, they can have a BAC of 0.08% or below, while a CMV driver can only have a BAC of 0.04% or below.

Penalties

In addition to the typical DUI penalties, a CMV driver also faces the loss of their commercial driver’s license (CDL). A CDL is necessary for a truck driver to operate a CMV legally. If a truck driver gets a DUI and loses their CDL temporarily, he or she might be fired from his or her job, which could put a severe financial strain on the accused. A 1st-time DUI conviction will lead to the suspension of a CDL for at least 1 year, but if the driver was transporting hazardous materials, he or she could face a suspension of up to 3 years.
