Hi guys my name is Jonathan, I've stumbled upon great topics here on trucking truth, and have decided to open up my profile with you guys. The thing is that I'm currently not in school I am a student at Marywood University studying Architecture but for the moment have taken some time off school. I do have a strong desire to obtain a CDL and hopefully drive some rigs, so I'm taking this time off from school to study and really focus on the information on the CDL booklet, I'm soon hoping to go and apply for the learner permit but I fear that I won't be eligible for it since I do have a ignition interlock device restriction on my license that will expire 7-24-19, since I have not driven at all since the conviction which was back in 2014 I had forgotten about this restriction until now that I plan on obtaining a CDL. I guess my question is am I eligible to obtain a learner permit and perhaps the license too or will I have to wait until the ignition interlock device expires? Any information will be greatly appreciated.
