You can. Don't be too optimistic expecting anyone to hire you with a driving record like that.
You will lose your CDL and lose your job that requires you to keep your CDL. Some states are very strict about DUI charges, never mind convictions.
Yes, but finding someone who'll hire you will present a challenge.
Getting the CDL isn't the issue - it's finding employment. If that DWI was within five years, you can pretty much forget about it. Even within the next two years afterwards, a DWI on your record will make it a lot more difficult for you.
DWI is a criminal offense and will show up when the company runs a criminal back ground check. Every company has a different policy regarding DWI's. I worked for one years ago that would not hire a driver that had every had one even if it was 20 years ago or more.
Yes you can but what you want is a job using your CDL. Most companies will hire someone with a DWI after 10 (clean) years have passed. Some will look at you after 5 years but most want 10. If you have more than one DWI you will most likely be done. If your DWI is recent you should either wait to get a CDL or decide on something else. Drive Safe, Tanya Bons
some states allow convictions to be expunged after a period of time and no further criminal convictions. Best to consult with a lawyer who can do an expungement for you...........
Yes. If you had only one DUI, and it was that long ago, you should be able to find a job as well, provided you have an otherwise good driving record.
Only after that DWI is several years behind you - think five years or more.
You can, but if you don't have at least five years between you and the DWI conviction, it's pointless - nobody will hire you as a CMV operator.
One DUI seven years ago... you're not so bad off. If you had multiple DUIs, that might be a different story, but you can get a CDL, and you should be able to find someone who'll hire you, so long as you've kept your driving record clean since then.
Yes, you can get your CDL after a DWI. A lot of bigger trucking companies will not hire you for 3 yrs or more because there insurance carrier wont insure DWI drivers because of the risk. I recently got a DWI in my personal vehicle, I have my CDL. My license is suspended for 6 months-I get conditional license (class d,a normal license), my cdl license is revoked for 1 yr which I will then be able to apply to the DMV to get my CDL back. Good Luck. Go to CRST Van Expedited if you want a company to pay for you to get your CDL. You stay with them for 8 months and you dont have to pay for your cdl schooling. Your DWI must have happened at least 3 yrs ago to work at that company. If its a recent DWI try applying at smaller local companies in you area-they might be more likely to hire you. I'm out of New York..all state laws vary-so you might luck out better in your state. Dont get a DWI with a CDL, dwi convictoins with a cdl are a lot more strict (even in your own car-i lost my job over my dwi) and BAC (blood alcohol level .08) is much lower(.04 in truck). Good luck to you.
Yes, but you'll want to be sure there's at least seven years between your DUI conviction and applying for a CDL driving job.
