Does anyone know if there are any extra penalties for driving a big rig drunk?

Yes, automatic license suspension when charged. Minimum 1 year suspension on conviction. He will also be looking for a new career. His info will go into the national drivers data base that all companies report to and show a dui in a commercial vehicle. He will never drive another truck for anyone. He is now a permanently unemployed truck driver....red

I’m amazed he made the turn so sharply.

Note, too, that ‘drunk’ with a CDL is often a much lower standard than fro the average car driver. IIRC, a BAC of 0.04 is the threshold for CDL drivers, where for car drivers it is 0.08 and up until a couple of years ago was 0.10%

The truck driver is screwed. Correction: former truck driver. He'll never, ever, drive anything other than a 4 wheeler in the future. His company is going to pay biiiiig bucks for this cluster.

The only statement Duimstra allegedly made to police was, "I messed up."

Idiot².
