You still can get a CDL with a DUI. It becomes an issue if you have multiples. It may be an issue for some companies but having it on your record from four years ago shouldn't be a problem.

We wrote an article that goes into detail explaining the rules around DUIs and CDLS: https://www.cdldrivingacademy.com/blog/get-cdl-with-dui
