Hi all I'm blind in one eye and interested in getting my CDL under the new rules.

Hi all I'm new here and just was reading up on the new vision standards for CDL drivers with vision in one eye. I'm almost blind in my right eye but my left eye is 20/30 and if I wear my glasses it's 20/25 distant acuity.

I'm encouraged y this new rule change as I've always wanted to drive trucks OTR. Do these new rules make me eligible for a CDL whatever class it might be to drive interstate even with vision on only one eye?

Also assuming it does what's the likelihood I'd be able to find an employer after getting a CDL? Would the fact I only have vision on one eye effect me being able to find employment? I've had a regular driver's license for years now and have never had any issues. I understand a tractor trailer is a whole different animal of course.

Sorry for so many questions but I'm new to this CDL drivers stuff. Thanks for any advice on this.
