Looking To Get My CDL And Change Careers At 51.

Hello, Marlon!

I would suggest just going for it. Your records may be far enough in the past to be of little concern. You have nothing to lose by trying. Expunging may be helpful but I would wonder how long that might take to process.

I just got my CDL in Illinois. My record was clean. Questions about DUIs or felonies that I encountered typically had more current time frames, for example, "In the past 5 years have you had..."

And don't let your age be a concern: I got a conditional job offer while still in CDL school and started orientation yesterday with a carrier. I have 18 years on you.

Hello, Marlon!

I would suggest going for it. Your record may be far enough in the past to be of no concern. If you can expunge it, all the better.

Also, you mentioned your age. Don't let that be a concern: I just got my CDL last week and started orientation at a carrier yesterday (with whom I had a conditional job offer from one month ago), and I'm 18 years older!
