Getting arrested for drunk driving as a commercial driver carries immediate repercussions. Your license, regardless of state or what type of vehicle you were operating, will be suspended indefinitely. Depending on the gravity of your DUI or DWI infraction your CDL will be suspended for months or years or even permanently. This will not only affect your driving privileges, but also your ability to earn income as a commercial driver. 

If you're arrested for driving under influence, don't hesitate to contact a DUI lawyer. It cannot be a lawyer who practices general law. It must be an attorney who specializes in DUI cases. These lawyers understand your state's DUI laws, allowing them to skillfully challenge the charges against you with the intent of minimizing your penalties of being charged with driving under the influence. Their expertise can save you money, spare you jail and maybe even save your job.
