As any experienced Indiana DUI lawyer will tell you, DUIs and CDLs don’t mix.
A person with a commercial driver’s license is held to a higher standard than other drivers because commercial driving is more inherently dangerous. A CDL is required to drive:
- a commercial motor vehicle (or combination of vehicles) with a weight of more than 26,000 pounds;
- a vehicle designed to transport at least 16 people; or
- a vehicle that transports hazardous materials.
All CDL regulations are controlled by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
