What is the penalty for operating a CMV that is placarded for hazardous materials while you are under the influence of alcohol?

Operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) while under the influence of alcohol will normally result in the loss of one's CDL for at least one year. If an operator is under the influence of alcohol while operating a CMV that is placarded for hazardous materials, this increases to at least three years.
