How long after DUI can you get cdl license back in ga?

When you get convicted of a DUI, a suspension goes into effect. The length of that suspension should have been explained to you already. You can get your CDL back the day the suspension period ends. Although you should probably go ahead and downgrade your license. For the first three years after being convicted, employment as a CDL driver will be virtually impossible to find. For the fourth and fifth year after conviction, it will only be slightly better for you. Expect to to affect you adversely for at least seven years after your conviction. And, quite frankly, you shouldn't expect much sympathy, either. If someone knows the consequences of getting a DUI - especially someone whose license is essential to their being able to make a living - and they still go out and do it, they probably don't need to be behind the wheel of a CMV.
