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.

You can get the CDL. Good luck finding a job where you get to use it, though.


Can you get a CDL after one DWI?

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.


If you have a commercial drivers license with a 2nd DWI pending but on the first DWI your CDL was not suspended what will be the penalty for 2nd DWI?

If you can't figure out not to do that, you don't need to be out in here in a big truck. Your CDL will most likely be suspended this time around.. and for good reason.

Can you get a cdl license in ny after a dwi?

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

Yes, but you aren't likely to be able to land a job driving. A DWI makes you pretty much un-hirable in the trucking business.

Can you get a cdl after a dwi in Texas?

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.


If you have a DWI on your record when can you apply for a CDL license?

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.
