Re: CDL License Laws =R they same all over?

The general rule is that if your rights are suspended or revoked in one state, the other states will respect that revocation or suspension. You did not indicate where yout got the recent DUI convication. Generally, records for a "second offense" go back only 10 years in most states. Perhaps you should meet with a local attorney to review all the facts and circumstances to see if there is some way to appeal the loss of your CDL privileges.
