Criminal Defense Attorney DUI Prince George's County The Law Offices of Haskell & DyerWhen the Job Depends on the License: CDL Driver DUI Defense in Prince George’s County

A second offense produces lifetime disqualification. The 0.04 BAC threshold for commercial vehicle operation is half the standard 0.08 threshold. Probation Before Judgment does not save the CDL because federal regulations treat PBJ for DUI as a disqualifying disposition. This guide walks through the federal framework, the 0.04 threshold, the reporting requirements, the PSP and MVR record systems, and the defense strategies that protect the career.
