    He has not lost his license. It is suspended and is still in the state and national database.

    The whole reason behind employers required to do 10 year background checks is to stop people like this one.

    It takes more than one speeding ticket to get suspended also. If this guy is such an outlaw and doesn't know how to be responsible, he needs to go flip burgers awhile and think about things.

    Once suspended, nobody will touch him for three years.

    There is a reason they fail people in bad health. Can you live with yourself killing someone on the road? How about going to a doctor and get treated and fixed? I'm medically disqualified myself. But I'm not going to weasel through the system. I'm trying to do it right. I sneak back out there and get in a wreck, the lawyers will have a hayday.

    Some of you make me wonder??

    CDL's aren't a regular license. They are on a national database. If your friend has enough tickets in a small time frame to lose his license, he needs to consider another career.

    Disqualifications:

    Disqualifications apply to CDL holders and persons required to have a CDL:
    Using a CMV or non CMV in the commission of a felony involving manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing a controlled substance will result in a disqualification for life, without the possibility of reinstatement.

    Disqualification for major offenses. The first violation for a Major violation, in a CMV or a non-CMV, results in a 1-year disqualification or a 3-year disqualification if transporting hazardous materials required to be placarded. The second violation for a Major, in a CMV or a non-CMV, results in a lifetime disqualification. The driver may be eligible for reinstatement under certain conditions after 10 years.

    Disqualification for serious traffic violations. The first violation for a serious violation does not result in a disqualification. A second serious violation within 3 years, results in a 60 day disqualification, and a third serious violation within 3 years, results in a 120 day disqualification. Serious disqualifications must be served consecutively. All serious violations in a CMV are included. Serious violations in a non-CMV must not be included, unless it results in the revocation, cancellation, or suspension of the CDL holder's license or non-CMV driving privileges.

    Disqualification for railroad-highway grade crossing (RRHGC) offenses, while operating a CMV. The first violation of a RRHGC results in a disqualification of not less than 60 days. The second violation, within 3 years, results in a disqualification of not less than 120 days. The third and subsequent violations, within 3 years, results in a disqualification of not less than 1 year.

    Disqualification for violating out-of-service orders (OOSO), while operating a CMV. Category 1 describes a driver who was transporting placarded hazardous materials or operating a vehicle designed to transport 16 or more passengers. Category 2 describes drivers not in Category 1.
    Category 1: The first violation results in a disqualification of no less than 180 days or more than 2 years. The second and subsequent violations within 10 years, results in a disqualification of no less than 3 years or more than 5 years.
    Category 2: The first violation results in a disqualification of no less than 180 days or more than 1 year. The second violation within 10 years, results in a disqualification of no less than 2 years or more than 5 years. The third and subsequent violations result in disqualifications of no less than 3 years or more than 5 years

    the database is referred to as the the CDList i believe. for those who followed the crisis in minnesota with the financial downfalls earlier this year, one of the things that was cut for lack of money besides all rest areas was the state's subscription to the CDList database.

    what that meant was that any driver applying for or attemping to renew a CDL in minnesota was screwed as the state was unable to run a check on the status of any license. that also went for the other states as well. if a minnesota driver moved and tried to transfer the license over, it was basically invalid as there was no way to validate the license. i guess they fixed that problem real fast.

    First, if his home state suspeded or revoked his CDL, he gave them a reason to. Does that reason go away just because moves to another state?

    Second, if any of you out there remember when this CDL program started, this is one of the main reasons for the CDL program in the first place. Folks would burn up their driving privileges in one state, then get another license from another state and do it all over again, and again...
