CDL HOLDERS ALERT!

NEW RULES EFFECTIVE 10/1/05 CAN RUIN YOUR CAREER!

The federal government has mandated that states adopt new rules regarding OWI-DUI cases and commercial driver's licenses. Wisconsin instituted the new rules effective 10/1/05. If you are a commercial driver and your are charged with OWI-DUI these rules can cost you your career. Each case must be individually analyzed, of course. But some of the harsh provisions are:

• One year to life CDL revocation for an alcohol or drug related driving offense, even if it occurred in a private vehicle.
• CDL Occupational permits are abolished.
• Effective 10/1/05, existing CDL occupational permits are cancelled.
• The above applies even to administrative suspensions.

If you are a commercial driver facing an OWI DUI, you need legal help immediately. The ten-day time limit to challenge an administrative suspension or a refusal allegation may apply to you.
