Slicker than a Yes album. | That was not the Iowa DOT website....this is the current one. I read the first part as failing a .08 DWI in either a car or CMV. Farther down, they spell out .04 while operating a CMV.
Disqualifications
The following offenses committed in a CMV or non-CMV will result in a CDL holders disqualification for one year, or three years if they happen in a vehicle carrying hazardous materials requiring placarding:
• Operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
• Refusal to submit to a chemical test; • Failure to stop and render aid at the scene of an
accident involving the persons vehicle; • A felony or aggravated misdemeanor involving the
use of a vehicle other than an offense involving the manufacturing or distribution of a controlled substance.
A second offense will result in a lifetime disqualification. A first offense of a felony or aggravated misdemeanor involving the use of a vehicle involving the manufacturing of a controlled substance will result in a lifetime disqualification.
The following offenses committed in a CMV will result in a disqualification for one year, or three years if they happen in a vehicle carrying hazardous materials requiring placarding. A second offense will result in a lifetime disqualification.
• Operating a CMV with a 0.04 blood alcohol concentration (BAC);
• Operating while disqualified; • Causing a fatality due to negligent operation.
Same as Minnesota law.
A driver will be disqualified from operating a Commercial Motor Vehicle for at least one year if the driver is convicted of any of the following offenses:
* Being under the influence of alcohol or drugs while operating a CMV
* Driving a CMV with a blood alcohol level of 0.04 percent or more * Leaving the scene of an accident involving a CMV * Using a CMV to commit a felony * Failing to stop at a railroad grade crossing when required to
do so (disqualified for at least 60 days) * Violating an out of service order (disqualified for at least 90 days) * Causing a fatality through negligent operation of a CMV * Operating a CMV when the driver's CDL is revoked, suspended or
cancelled *For not less than 60 days for offenses committed in a non-CMV as
listed in 49 CFR Section 383.51
Maybe it is different in Iowa, but here is the wording. All I know is, don't drink and drive. |
