Thanks for any advice. I was in the process of hiring a driver for my truck any way, but i still need to find a way to drive in town, maybe i'll be hiring two drivers.
I know what i did was stupid. Defenitely out of character for me.... i guess i'll be lawyer shopping tomorrow morning.... This sucks

If you have a non CDL driving job to go to you may be able to get the occupational license,........
I doubt that they will give you one to just drive around,.. -

Not looking for sympathy, just advice. I admit i was wrong, i understand i'll have to deal with the consequences. Thanks

my first dui cost me a 7mo suspension and $1000 fine in wi. thats when they were weak. wi now uas some of the strongest dui laws in the country. a friend just served 30 days on top of everything else for his.
know what you are talking about before you put it out for the whole world to see. a cdl holder is held to the standards of a cdl wether or not he is in a car or truck.
to me that mo law looks pathetic. theyre are the ones who are soft.
the original post was addressed how many ways can you say " you are ######" now we are debating hanadarkos assenine statement -

The way the laws are going, it's unacceptable to get a DUI. Back in the day a plea of "I'm sorry. I made a mistake" would work for the first time. Now it's more like, "You know better. We are going to make an example of you."
I think as time goes by more and more courts are going to get harder and harder on DUI's.
Weird thing about this is. I know of a cop in the town where I live. He was caught with a bottle of whiskey....IN HIS PATROL CAR!!!! He got fired. When the smoke cleared he got a job as a jailer. Now he's back to his original job as a patrolman. I don't think it's right at all to nail someone to the wall and let others slide but that's the way it works. -
- Talking about DUI laws isn't asinine. I have lost 2 valuable friends to idiots that choose to drink and drive. It's a conscious decision one
makes...no one forces you to drink & drive...these are totally preventable. That's what gets frustrating. At least there wasn't an accident involved with injuries or death (I presume..).
No matter what people say, WI laws are a joke. Yes they are better than a year ago but still too lame.....
Either way, this guy is in deep ####. Being a 1st offense, maybe he will get a decent lawyer and come out w/o too much damage....at least it wasnt in a CMV...I suppose thats the only positive side... Best of luck to the OP...Hiring a driver would be a good idea I think....
Insurance stops me dead in my tracks (if I needed a reason). Both my personal and professional insurance companies told me I would be DROPPED if I produce any DUI....just try and get insurance then, after your dropped...OMG- -

i dont think it matters that much that you werent in a cmv--as a cdl holder,lots of times you are held to higher degree than if you held just normal license
lots of places the amount of blood/alcohol content is lower just because you hold a cdl than if it would be if you didnt have cdl
