Impact on your CDL
It is important to understand that a traffic conviction may affect your CDL even if you were driving your personal vehicle on your own time. For example, if you are convicted of a DUI, you will be disqualified from operating commercial vehicles even if the violation occurred in your personal vehicle.

There are several violations than can result in the disqualification of your CDL, with disqualification periods ranging from 60 days to lifetime disqualifications. Even if your CDL is not disqualified as the result of the conviction, points assessed against your license by the DMV, or internally by your employer, can threaten your ability to work.

If you’ve been charged with a traffic offense, while on the job or in your personal vehicle, contact Amelia traffic lawyer Ron Gore to determine how a conviction of that offense will impact your CDL.
