Yup like i said .04 or impaired for a dui. And it says driviing a cmv and have a cdl. Becuse you dont need a cdl to drive a cmv in certain situations. You would definatly get fierd from bout 99.9 % of companys but thats moot.
Edit. There is no room for interpitation. It says cmv and thats what it means. In order to be subject to a .04 is a class d vehicle they would have to exspress it directly. This is the gov they dont need excuses to add regs, if it was there you would see it

It's an automatic fine under .04 so I guess we are splitting hairs if you are .04 without a cdl they will likely send you on your way just saying either way I'm an o/o but I'm zero tolerance cmv or personal vehicle it's just plain safer
I stand corrected ........kinda -
Dont get me wrong im a zero no matter what your driving kinda guy, no exscuse for blatent stupidity. I just like to get people with that one, been doing it for years

Read the first line though it says if you drive a cmv or hold a cdl
-
No it says "and"
-
The reason is you dont need a cdl to drive cmv farm equip, yada yada. You have to have a cdl in order to be bound by cdl law while driving a cmv

Gotcha now I stand fully corrected thanks
-

To the OP, this probably arose as good advice for a young man possibly college bound with a CDL. You know, as a caution about college partying and holding a CDL. They both seem to agree, and I'll add my agreement: "One drink and no driving for 24 hours for CDL holders" is the best policy. Watch out for "open container" too. While there's no big controversy about it; every company will run an initial and annual MVR on you and most all of them will have a problem with an "open container" ticket, even in a POV, too. Plus if your driving and your friend has some weed (in the states where it's not legal.) and you get pulled, cop finds it and your friend doesn't own up to it being his: it's yours and you get the possession charge. Companies will have a big problem with that too.
I think this is all just friendly advice that what may seem like kinda not a real big deal becomes a huge deal if you have a CDL.Last edited: Apr 28, 2014
