CDL DWI Defense Protecting Your Commercial Driving Career

North Carolina law holds commercial drivers to stringent standards, with a much lower blood alcohol content threshold of .04% compared to .08% for regular drivers. For commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders, even a single DWI charge can devastate your career, potentially ending your ability to provide for your family. Getting a skilled lawyer to help quickly is, therefore, more important to protect your commercial driving privileges.

At Cotten Law Firm, PLLC, we understand what is at risk for you. With over 50,000 cases handled across Wake, Johnston, Harnett, Orange, Sampson and Chatham counties, we know how to fight for commercial drivers facing DWI charges. Our down-to-earth approach and proven track record make us a trusted choice for commercial drivers facing DWI charges.

North Carolina’s Strict DWI Laws For Commercial Drivers

The following are critical facts every CDL holder should know:

  • A BAC of just .04% triggers an immediate 30-day suspension of your regular license and a one-year CDL disqualification – even for a first offense
  • Getting charged with DWI in your personal vehicle still affects your CDL privileges
  • Refusing a breath test results in an automatic CDL disqualification
  • A second DWI conviction means permanent CDL revocation with no possibility of reinstatement
  • Even out-of-state violations impact your North Carolina CDL status

Losing your CDL can mean losing your income. That is why you need an experienced attorney with extensive experience defending CDL holders.
