When you get a DUI, DWI, or open container, there's typically a license suspension period which follows afterwards. Once this suspension period is over, and you've met all the conditions for reinstatement of your license (including payment of reinstatement fees), you can get a CDL 30 days later (you must hold a valid DL in your state of residence for at least 30 days before that state can issue you a CDL). However, if you don't have at least five years between your DUI/DWAI/open container conviction and the time you're trying to find a CDL job, you're only wasting your time and money - nobody will hire you for any driving job, least of all, a CDL driving job.
