The keyword in that one section is disqualified. This means holding a CDL and getting it suspended through those tables in 383.51. On the latter, it's important to remember that also means you can't have a regular driver's license either. I know of no state that has any rules in place that blocks a person with a regular unrestricted driver's license from getting a CDL.
What convictions prevent getting CDL?

I don't think there are convictions that prevent you from getting a CDL. CDLs are issued by the states, not the feds. If there are disqualifying convictions they would be on the state's web sites.
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
CDL is a federal program adminstered by the states. There is no list of what is legal; only what you can't do. If you have been granted the privledge of driving by your state you are qualified to get a CDL...
Here in PA 'open carry' of a firearm{hand gun/short barreled stuff} [within some limitations] is not forbiden by law.
New people, confused by this are always asking people to actually 'cite' the law making it legal and are extra confused when told there is none, just what you can't do is codified in the law. OP is looking for something that dosen' exist. -
This is why people should NEVER listen to truck stop Attorney's OR for that matter drivers that swear their safety depts say something is legal or illegal. In the world of trucking Title, 49 CFR 300 series rules can be some of the most complex sets of rules you can see. Because there are so many different departments within the FMCSA sometimes these rules can be in conflict with each other, or seem that way. Then add to this so many of the rules leave a lot of discretionary power to the state enforcement officers that Texas may handle something differently than Georgia or Ohio will. Most states work closely with the CVSA to standardize enforcement, but this is a slow process. This is why I sometimes get angry when I see someone take a question asked out of context and give anywhere from a totally wrong answer to an answer that is not 100% correct!
