Nevada's commercial DUI laws are a special section of the general DUI statutes, pointed directly at commercial vehicles. Commercial DUI covers driving under the influence while operating a commercial vehicle, such as a semi-trailer or a delivery truck. Note that to be charged with a commercial DUI, one must be driving
(1) a vehicle around 26,001 lbs, including the towed unit that must not
exceed 10,000 lbs, (2) The ability to ferry 16 passengers (including
driver), and (3) can transport either regular materials or
hazardous substances like medical waste in bulk over long distances.
Apart from its coverage of a specific industry, there's not much difference between it and DUI laws in general. For example, commercial DUI charges can be made when relatively the same amount of intoxicating substances are found in their blood stream. Note the table below.
