DUI / ARD and the Commercial Drivers License

This is the first time we've touched on this topic, and I expect to write quite a bit more in the future.

Did you know that an ARD for a DUI (Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition) will result in the 12 month loss of your CDL, no matter what! And that a second ARD or DUI can result in a lifetime loss?

That's right. No matter how good the "deal" in Court is, if you have a CDL a DUI can result in drastic consequences from Penn Dot. This is aside from any policies a particular trucking company or insurance carrier may already have in place.

So before you plead guilty, accept ARD, or go to Court, be sure and consult with Counsel to see if there is a strategy to allow you to keep your CDL.
