What happens?
Assuming you're a driver first comes rehabilitation after completion you'll be afforded the right to work 40 hours per week at the dock pay rate of $27.30 minus 10℅ reduction in pay until such time as you're able to receive your driving privileges. It's a 1 shot deal if at any time in the future you get another DUI or fail a drug or alcohol test you're terminated
you will go through a out patient rehabilitation, Mine was 52 days, that was a court order, then UPS drug and alcohol people will contact your Union and manager and you will have to sign some kind of rehab agreement, I had to do breath test randomly every month for a year and 5 years AA once a week, they will give you a sheet that you will need signed and dated by your AA consoler, and you will need to fax that to the SAP (UPS drug and alcohol) every month by the 5th, if your late or forget you will be terminated. This is the HELL I've been going through since my "buzz drunk" incident 6 years ago, I retire Thursday. I was not given the opportunity to work the dock till after I finished my court ordered rehab, I was not given 40 hours a week and I could not bump, even part timers, that was the OLD contract. I had 1 year to get my CDL back, if I couldn't I was terminated, I was at DMV waiting in line with 150 people, had to pay $120.00 to reinstate my license, and retake the basic written test, I was really stressed that day. After about 2 months I was able to "Prove" myself on the dock and was getting close to getting 30 hours a week working split shift, It sucked the life out of me and knocked me down from #1 road driver to dock, but I was able after that year of hell, to get my life right and retire with some dignity, to those of you who like drinking, they don't tolerate the 2 beers at dinner or the club anymore, you drink you drive you lose.
I still remember the days when DUI was nothing more than a summary offense. Today it will change your life and not for the better. And it is exponentially worse for those of us who drive for a living. Nitetrain, you have my sympathies, I feel like you and others like you have overpaid for your infraction.
