Question:

If you have a second conviction for DUI while operating either a CMV or your personal vehicle, what is the minimum amount of time you will lose your CDL privileges?

Answer: Life

Explanation
While there are serious consequences for a first DUI conviction, regardless of what you're driving, the state of Massachusetts gives you an opportunity to get help and turn your life around before you lose your CDL privileges. A second conviction takes that chance away due to federal laws, and means you'll have to seek a new profession.
