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.

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

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?

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.

Can you get a cdl license in nc with a dwi?

In North Carolina, a DWI (Driving While Impaired) conviction can affect your ability to obtain a CDL (Commercial Driver's License). If you have a DWI on your record, you may face a disqualification period, typically lasting one year for a first offense, which can extend to three years for subsequent offenses. It's essential to check with the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles for specific details and requirements based on your situation. Ultimately, a DWI can complicate the process, but it doesn't completely preclude you from obtaining a CDL after the disqualification period.
