The duration of a CDL suspension for driving under the influence depends on the severity of the offense. Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol OR driving while in possession of an illegal substance typically results in a one-year license suspension. Drivers who refuse to take a BAC test also face anautomatic one-year suspension. If a driver is accused of DUI while transporting hazardous materials, the suspension is increased to a minimum of three years.

Drivers who have their licenses suspended under these circumstances will not be eligible for a hardship license, which could spell financial disaster for a driver and their family. That is why it is important for drivers facing criminal charges to act quickly. In Florida, you may be able to request a hearing to contest your license suspension through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, but you must call within 10 days of your arrest.
