instead of talking to us truck drivers
you need to talk to the lawyer and DMV
find out what it actually says -
North Carolina

Refusing any kind of drug test is an automatic fail.

if that were the case, why do most states take your license 15 days after u get the dui. even before u go to court. In Missouri your license are suspended for 30 days 15 days after u receive the ticket. After u get convicted u get longer. now if u beat the dui you still have to go through the 30 day suspension before you are eligible to get license back.

In North Carolina the court decision of case dismissed meaning there was no case or no charge of DWI does not change the DMV record. I complied with the breathalyzer test. It was wrong. I am guilty without being convicted of a crime. I cannot locate a company willing to hire me. I have a record of 40 years of safe driving with only 2 tickets in the 1980s with no ability to find a job. This is the only crime where you are not guilty that impacts your entire life.

You might have to take any driving job you can find & then get into bulk at a later date.
superpet39 Thanks this. -
How is a breathalyzer test wrong?
Did you ask for a blood test?
I also wonder why it was dismissed? -
Even though your case was dismissed it will still show up as an arrest on your criminal record. That is just as bad as a conviction to an employer. It will be there forever unless you get it expunged. A lot of people think if the charges were dropped they will remove it from your record, but it doesn't work that way. 30 years from now it will still be there. I'm in the process of expunging my record now for a conditional discharge I got. Mine wasn't a dui so it doesn't show on my MVR. There is usually a waiting period before you can expunge. For mine it was 6 months from the date all conditions of the discharge were met. So if you had a year probation or had to take the drunk classes you start counting when you finished everything. Every state is different. I live in NJ. I believe I read that in NJ a DUI can't be expunged but since you got a conditional discharge you wern't convicted so you can get it expunged.
Your main problem is that it will show up on your DMV report for 7 years (NJ) There is no way to get that off if it is factual information. So even though you get your criminal record expunged and can leagaly answer NO the the question "have you ever been convicted of a crime" it will still be on your DMV. And since you really did get a suspension it is factual information and can not be removed.
I hate to be the one to give you the bad news but I think it's going to be 7 years before this isn't a problem for you. Unless the company allows DUI after 5.
Your best move would be to talk to a lawyer but if I had to bet, I would bet he will tell you word for word what I just told you.Hopefully your state is different.
'Chinatown Thanks this.
