QUESTION
Will my Commercial Driver’s License be suspended after 11 months case dismissed with all charges?
Asked on Nov 12th, 2012 on DUI/DWI - Washington
More details to this question:
I got my first DUI on January 14, 2012. I was blood tested in jail (do not know the results). After spending four days in jail, I was released on my court date (01/18/12) with all charges dismissed! I contacted the Department of Motor Vehicle arbitration. They told me it was not necessary since they have not received any court order to revoke driver’s license. I called the warrant office in a monthly basis to check my status as well as Department of Motor Vehicle and found nothing against me. I continue to drive which I do for living as a Commercial Truck Driver. On November 5, 2012, I got a warrant for my arrest with a $1000.00 bail and charges were DUI and BAC over level permitted. Is my driver’s license going to be suspended? I already went to clear the warrant they set up a court day on December 11, 2012. The detective told me "this is such a small case, never seen one like this on the streets (1000) bail." I cleared my warrant.

No. The DMV suspends your license independent of what the court does. It's called a DMV Hearing, and it sounds like you probably didn't even request one. You need to hire a DUI specialist ASAP.

The charges were not dismissed - they were pending while your blood was analyzed.

Until the case is cleared by plea, trial or dismissal, your license should remain intact.

It sounds like you have an active DUI case. If convicted, YES, you will loose your CDL. My advice: get an attorney.
