    And isnt the law reduced for Cdl holders in there personal vehicle? Whereas a .08 is a dui for most for Cdl holders it's .04? Or is that just an old wives tale?

    I could be wrong but I think .04 in cmv gets you arrested. But anything over
    .00 gets you out of service and most likely fired

    Just downloaded IL latest cdl manual. No alcohol in cmv. .08 is dui arrest in non cmv. .04 is dui arrest in cmv. Over .00 in cmv is 24hrs out of service, no arrest or ticket.
    Also school bus driver over .00 dui arrest.
     
    ncmickey Thanks this.
