You can get a CDL. That part isn't the problem. It's finding employment which is the difficult part. Ideally, you should have at least seven years between your DUI convicted and seeking employment as a CDL driver. If you have five or six years between conviction and seeking employment, you can cope, but it will present obstacles. Less than five years between a DUI conviction and seeking employment, your odds are extremely slim. Less than three years between a DUI and seeking employment, you might as well forget about it and find greener pastures for yourself.

Can you get a cdl in mass with 1 DUI?

Not as long as the resulting suspension period from your DUI conviction is in effect. If it has passed, and you've reinstated your licence, you can upgrade it to a CDL. If your DUI occurred within the past 10 years, your prospects of finding employment as a CDL driver are slim. If it's been within the past five years, you'd be best advised to pursue another career path, and not waste your money getting a CDL.

Can you still get a cdl license after 1 dwi 7 years ago?

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.


Can you still get a cdl after 1 DUI conviction in the state of Michigan without ever having a cdl license?

As long as you've met the conditions for reinstatement of your licence and driving privilege, you can upgrade to a CDL. However, before you go and do this, you may want to give some thought to it - if that DUI occurred within the last three years, your chances of finding employment as a CDL driver are practically nil. If it happened in the past four to seven years, it will still make things difficult for you. If it happened more than seven years ago, you should be alright.
