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.

Yes, as you should.
You can get the CDL. Good luck finding a job where you get to use it, though.
Your licence will be suspended, and, if having that CDL was an essential part of your job, welcome to the unemployment line.
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 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.
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.
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 Commercial Driver's License (CDL) ?Yes, but it needs to be at least a year from your offense.
In ny you can not expunge a dwi.
Air brakes have absolutely nothing to do with determining whether or not a vehicle requires a CDL.
In the state of New York, a DWI will affect your insurance for a period of 40 months. However, you really can't be driving when you lose your license because of a DWI anyway.
Yes. Getting a CDL won't be a problem. Finding someone who'll hire you with a felony is where your challenge lies.
