I am an owner operator. My question was related to the permit paper they gave me. I wasn’t asking for job advice to work for swift. I am going to speak to a lawyer tomorrow. Worst case scanario my cdl suspended for 90 days. But I’m hoping it don’t come down to that. I did make the biggest mistake and I can’t take that back now. Take advice from someone who been through make a rule in your life not to get behind the wheel even if you had one beer. Lesson learned being young and dumb.

Badmon Thanks this.

Forget the trial. Most people captured for DUI takes between 12 to 18 months just to get to trial here in Arkansas in worse case scenarios especially when combined with other felonies or big issues related to it.
It's bad but not the end of the world. Hopefully you can hold off the tax man when he comes too.
Im finished here. Let us know how it goes. I cannot imagine the financial costs along with other losses related to stuff like this. It's not worth it. -
And also all I have is that white sheet permit and some shippers and receivers require to show valid cdl license so they will probably refuse to load me.

First dui offense is an automatic one year cdl suspension. Best case scenario.

I turned in my CDL because if I got captured with medicines in me it's easier to take the hit with a basic no brainer car license compared to a CDL. Gives me a little margin. (Not much, you still have a stack of really bad problems here)
Generally it has been my experience that they expect better with a CDL more than just a brain dead car driver. -
bullhaulerswife Thanks this.

All depends on how good of a lawyer you get which equals lots of $. If you don't wanna loose CDL gonna cost $10,000 minimum. Need to get charges lowered. I know a guy that was pulled over and failed drug test and was hauling over 120,000 with no permits. Lawyer had him back trucking in 6 months.
