First, you'll lose your CDL. One year suspension is typical for a first offense. You'll be able to get your CDL reinstated - you may even be able to get a hearing to have it reinstated before the one year period is up.

For the next three years after your conviction, nobody is going to hire you as a driver, whether as a CDL driver or non-CDL driver. 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.

Does a Class C driver need a medical card to drive in California?

To operate ANY vehicle which requires a CDL of ANY class in ALL states (this is federal law - it doesn't vary by state), the driver must have, along with the appropriate class of CDL (A, B, C), a DOT Medical Card. However, this is assuming you're were referring to a Class C CDL - several states issue a non-CDL Class C licence.


Is it legal to haul any quantity of hazardous material with out a haz mat endorsement on cdl license?

No, it is not legal to haul any quantity of hazardous material without a hazmat endorsement on your CDL license. You need the endorsement to legally transport hazardous materials as it requires additional training and certification to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.


Will you get your CDL back after your 90 day driving suspension with a reckless driving charge?

It depends on your state's laws and regulations. In some states, a reckless driving charge may result in a longer suspension or revocation of your CDL. You'll need to check with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles for specific information on how the reckless driving charge will affect your CDL.


Do you need a cdl to drive an international s1900 in sc?

Any vehicle weighing over 26,001 pounds requires a CDL to operate. The International S1900 with a box on it requires a CDL-B, if you are pulling a trailer it will require a CDL-A. Drive Safe, Tanya Bons


How much diesel fuel can you transport in a truck without a CDL or hazmat?

Diesel fuel is Hazard Class 3. Without a Hazmat endorsement, you would be limited to a total of 1,000 lbs. of diesel fuel.. 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.

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.

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


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.
