Speaking as a CDL holder who was diagnosed with Diabetes 6 years ago, if you are on insulin you cannot get one. If your sugars are controlled with oral medications or diet you must undergo a DOT physical exam every year instead of the standard 2 year medical ticket. This has since changed since 2005. You can get a CDL even with insulin diabetes. There are forms to fill out and procedures to follow, of course. Here is a link that will explain it in further detail : http://tinyurl.com/6kqxfo

A gallon of diesel fuel weighs approximately 7.5 pounds (it varies, dependent on the API weight), so you'd be looking at around 134 gallons (give or take). Without a CDL, the total weight of that vehicle could not exceed 26,000 lbs., nor could that vehicle have a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of over 26,000 lbs.

To be able to insure you, the premiums they paid for insurance would be astronomical. So they're not going to be willing to do that.From four to five years after your DUI conviction, your chances of finding employment are barely better.For six to seven years after your conviction, it will still be a major impediment to finding employment as a CDL driver.
