    to make a long story short, I will be contacting the DMV and explaining them my current situation and saying that if in the future I can re-obtain my CDL. I really enjoyed it while it lasted and I’m glad I made the contacts I did.

    You should be able to go to your DMV and self certify as either "Excepted Interstate" or "Excepted Intrastate". Your will keep your CDL and when/if you are ready to drive again, just get a new DOT physical and take it to your DMV.
    I did this for several years and even renewed my CDL while in the "excepted" category.

    I contacted my drivers license bureau or whatever you call them and they said I can easily get my CDL back by 2031. Sorry for the short message as I am donating blood platelets.

    This is why I would not want to do any other job in the US besides truck driving. Those sorts of work environments are way too common in the USA. Usually it's the co-workers that are just plain mean, but I once had a manager like that at the pizza franchise I worked at. He enjoyed making fun of the workers. Eventually I got fed up with his BS and spoke with the regional manager about his behavior. Not sure why so many in that country feel the need to be crass and disrespectful.
