I am going to have to go with Neil on the whole CDL issue, do your research and don't take anyones word unless they quote chapter and verse of the regulations.

I mentioned in passing that if you have a CDL liscense stiffer penalites apply. Someone mentioned that was not true.

Per the US Department of Transportation website FAQ on CDL.

States must maintain a CDL driver-history record noting an individual's convictions for state or local motor-vehicle traffic-control laws while operating any type of motor vehicle. Information on these convictions and other licensing actions must be kept a minimum of three years. Disqualifying offenses range from three years to life.

Note the ANY type of motor vehicle section.

Federal Code is 49CFR350 is what you want to look at and the section in your state.
