Physical Control Charge in Ohio
This raises more questions than answers. It is akin to a public intox charge.
Was the vehicle you were in a CMV? Were you arrested? Is there any type of BAC record?
These questions are the most problematic going forward. If yes it could effect your employment going forward.
Howdy PJ.
No, i was on a motorcycle. Originally charged with omvi. Refused any tests. I was arrested and immediately released. Its taken 8 months and a few court dates. But, my lawyer was very effective. Im not worried about employers. My small company is like family after all these years and ready and willing to take me back.
I was hoping that someone on here had that specific charge and what the outcome was. Court is vacating the administrative license suspension for refusal and giving me a 6 month suspension (retroactive) so insurance underwriters are the last hurdle.
Ill update here when I get a final answer. It seems to be a very grey area with little to no info on the interwebs.

Physical Control Charge in Ohio
Has anyone had a physical control charge? (Its when you get a ticket for sleeping or being in a vehicle drunk) its a non moving no points misdemeanor in Ohio. My question is, were you able to continue trucking? I already have my job. Just more concerned about insurance companies not allowing me to stay on the stool. Its all coming up soon. Hoping for some insight from someone who went through this already.

Hello, I have a question for the Original poster. How did this work out?

But, ill have my license back in a few weeks and wanted to know of your husband had any issues getting hired or insured? If you could reply here or email me. If really appreciate it. My nerves and bank account are a wreck.
