Howl and rant on, kiddos.
No, you are not "INNOCENT! I'll bet you anything you want that the paperwork you have from the courts does not have the word "INNOCENT" anywhere on them. I'll bet it says, "Not Guilty" which only means that you were not found guilty AS CHARGED, that the prosecutor failed to present evidence to convict. This is far from being INNOCENT!
Were you too drunk to drive, yes, does your DAC need changed, depends, does it state you were terminated for being "charged" or "convicted" of the offense? Again, I'll bet your DAC states that you were terminated for be "CHARGED" with DWI which is a proper entry. I see no reason for your DAC to be changed, you were charged, you beat the charge which is what you have to inform any prospective employer.
If you were stupid enough not to inform your dispatcher you were drinking and refuse the load you deserve exactly what you have gotten yourself into.
Something else to think about, you better check with the local DMV of your state and ensure you actually have a valid drivers license, much less a CDL. In many states, a charge of DWI results in an automatic suspension. They don't have to inform you and for the most part, the first time you will know about it is when you get stopped and charged for driving with a suspended license.
