Will i lose my cdl and how long

It’s tough to give you a specific answer without more details. But, in general, Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) holders can lose their driving privileges for various reasons, such as:

• Drug possession

• Drug use

• Alcohol-related driving offense

• Refusing a chemical test

• Serious traffic violations

• Out-of-service order infractions 

Under federal and state standards, a CDL holder can lose their license for as little as 60 days or receive a lifetime ban. The duration depends on:

• the severity of the offense, 

• the type of cargo being transported (such as hazardous materials), and 

• whether you have prior violations. 

If you’re concerned about losing your CDL, I recommend speaking with a criminal defense attorney to discuss your legal options. If you’d like to speak with one of our attorneys, you can book a consultation online or call 303-688-0944 to find a convenient time.
