At this point, your continued employment rests solely on what your union can do. Probably a demotion to a non-driving position, likely with a reduction in pay is probably the best you can hope for now. I think when this happened, you tried to keep it quiet, and now you are going to have to face the consequences for that choice. Be thankful you have a union; for probably 95% of the drivers here in the same predicament they'd just be fired, and probably better than half would never drive commercially again.

Hire an attorney who specifically understands the "major offense" classification under FMCSA because a second DUI will trigger a multi-year CDL ban. You need to challenge the administrative license suspension within the first 7 days. I hired J.B. Katz Law, providing DUI defense for my defense and she managed to handle the DMV hearing and the criminal court side simultaneously. Start looking for your original CDL paperwork before you meet with anyone.
