Did they charge you? If not then ask for the license back.

Were you charged with DUI. If not why did he take your license. If you are in Louisiana you have a limited number of days to file with the DMV to try to get your license back. You should have a notice of a court date on whatever you are charged with, so I suggest that you take all the info that you have about your arrest to a lawyer that handles DUI cases.

You need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.

The stakes are high in your case, you will need a lawyer to help defend your case and try to keep your commercial license from being suspended for one year (assuming this is a first offense, lifetime suspension if it's a second offense or more).

Hire a lawyer immediately. Your livelihood is on the line. You don't need me to tell you that without your commercial driver's license, you will have a hard time working. There are too many pitfalls with trying to fight a DUI on your own to leave your livelihood to chance.
