Hey Chris my name is Byron Boynton. I know this was a few years back but I just wanted to follow up on how things went with your disqualification in GA. I'm a resident of this state and I am in the same boat as you. I was young and had two DUIs at 21 but the last was March of 2005. Any info you have will greatly be appreciated cause I sure could use a career change. Thanks
Did you get the two DUI's in Georgia? Because if you did then you would have received a letter from Georgia stating that you have been suspended for life. If you have not received that letter you should not have been suspended. Also, is a lawyer telling you have a lifetime suspension or is it one of the operators you are calling at DDS? Ask them when the letter was issued. And get the date of the suspension. You can apply for your driving history and record beyond the normal DMV report by going through the Conyers office of the Georgia DDS. I would contact the Commissioners Office of DDS to see about filing for your record. It sounds like to me that a big mistake has been made and believe you me Georgia is good about that.
What county did the DUI's happen in? Have you had more than 2 DUI's? Did you move to NC from Georgia? If NC will issue you a CDL then Georgia has no claim to you. If your license is under a lifetime suspension in any state you would be denied a license period in another state.
A lifetime suspension is for multiple DUI's. Meaning more than 2. I had two within a period of 4 years. Here in Georgia. I had to get a wavier on the "drunk box", and do all the mandatory school stuff. But that was all. First one was in 2004 the other in 2006.
Contact the Commissioner of DDS. And I will see if I can find the right attorney for you. Need to know the county and like I said if you have more than just the two.
Yes I got them in Georgia when I lived there years ago. The way I found out was when I got my driving record from Georgia a few weeks ago. On there it says lifetime disqualified CDL. I never received a letter about it. I'm still valid to drive in GA. They just disqualified me from a CDL.
I got one DUI in Cobb and the other in Gwinnett and yes I moved to NC 6 years ago from Georgia. When you said you had to get a wavier on the "drunk box", and do all the mandatory school stuff what do you mean? The reason I ask, is when i talked to the legal department in Conyers they told me that even though the law states that you can have a lifetime reduced to 10 years by providing proof of a state approved rehabilitation program, that they don't have anything in place to allow you to do that at the moment. That bill is hopefully coming up in late 2014 to allow for you to get a lifetime reduced but not at the moment.
Hey guys, Thanks for all your help on here. i just want to drive and be able to pay my bills. I've been in the strip club business for 20 some years and just want out of the whole scene. Driving is what I've wanted to do for years and now that I'm trying to make that move I'm hitting one wall after another.

Can I get a CDL if my DUI’s were in a state that disqualifies you from obtaining one?
