As a CDL holder, you should know that we are held to a higher standard. While the fines won't be any heavier for possessing a CDL, your licence is still going to be suspended for a DUI conviction, the same as it would be if you had a regular Class D licence. For the next three years after your DUI conviction, you can pretty much forget about finding employment as a CDL driver - no insurance company will touch you. For the next two years, your odds get a little better - they're reduced from impossible to next to impossible. For the next five years following that, your chances aren't looking good, but they are looking better than they did in the first five years following your DUI conviction.

In short, your licence is going to be suspended. You are going to lose your job, and face severe bias when it comes to employment after you get your licence reinstated. But, every cloud has a silver lining. In this instance, you were caught driving drunk before you wound up killing somebody, and a CDL driver who has proven themselves to irresponsible to be behind the wheel of a CMV was taken off the road.
