DWI Charges? Your New Jersey CDL Is at Stake.
If you have a commercial driver's license (CDL) in New Jersey and you were charged with drunk driving, then your livelihood is at stake.

Why Does a DWI/DUI off-the-Job Cost You Your CDL?
Essentially, because the public is terrified at the prospect of an intoxicated person driving a truck, bus or other commercial vehicle.
The courts have held that since you are drinking and driving in your personal car, there's no reason not to suspect that you weren't on your way to or from your truck. This may not sound fair, but it's the law.
New Jersey's Tough DUI Penalties
Unlike some states, New Jersey has no "special" licenses for people who absolutely need to get from point A to point B. When your license is suspended, it's illegal to drive to work, to drive your kids to school, to drive to the doctor … it's illegal to drive, period.
But if you have a CDL, the stakes are a lot higher. Not only do you need to find a new way to get to work – you'll need to start over in a new career entirely. Maybe at entry level.
