Commercial DWI

Commercial truck drivers are aware of the very strict penalties they face if they drink and drive within the state of New Jersey. If you find yourself charged with DWI, a New Jersey commercial DWI attorney can assist you in the understanding of your legal rights and fight the DWI charges you may be facing.

If your BAC is recorded at 0.04%, which is an extremely low number, it is high enough to have you charged with a DWI under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act. This federal law is also applicable to anyone with a commercial drivers’ license even if they are driving their own car.

A commercial truck driver can lose their license for a year if convicted of driving under the influence. If convicted while driving a HAZMAT truck the loss of the license rises to three years. If you have had a previous DWI, you could permanently lose your license. If you refuse to take a breathalyzer or blood test, you will be considered guilty. You could even receive a jail sentence if you BAC was above 0.08%.

It’s critical that you hire a New Jersey DWI CDL Defense attorney in order to fight the charges leveled against commercial truck drivers.
