If it goes on ur record then you can't drive a CDL truck for a long time. It doesn't matter if you got the ticket in your personal vehicle. If you would have got your DUI in a big truck then your CDL would be gone forever.
I doubt anyone will hire you for at least 5 years. -
lawyer up!!

IMO: The smart thing to do would be DONT DRINK AND DRIVE,
walleye, basstime54, Big John and 2 others Thank this. -

Are you kidding? - I actually thought this thread was gonna be a joke...
The only safe place to drink is HOME and when your NOT going anywhere...
