No. This is the single most important CDL DUI fact. Illinois court supervision preserves the license for a standard driver, but federal 49 CFR 383.51 defines "conviction" broadly to include any disposition where guilt is admitted or found, regardless of whether entered as a formal conviction under state law. Court supervision counts. Supervision does not save the CDL. The chicagoduilawyer.net defense track on any CDL case is charge reduction or acquittal rather than supervision negotiation. A reduction to reckless driving under 625 ILCS 5/11-503 is often the target, though even that carries CDL risk under specific federal subsections.
