Best Answer

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.

Yes, although if your conviction was within the past five years, you'd be better off to wait instead of rushing off to CDL school.

A past DUI conviction won't prevent you from being able to get your CDL, but, depending on how recent it was, it could prevent you from finding employment as a CDL driver. If your DUI conviction was within the past five years, you're better off finding a different line of work to get into.
