    Hello, my names Paul & I'm new to this forum. I'm not sure if this is the exact place to ask my question so feel free to move it if deemed necessary. But I was looking online & seen sumn where if ur license has been suspended u can't get ur cdl? Mine was suspended because I forgot to show to court / pay fees for a defect equipment ... my license has a +1 and is active atm.. will that be a issue? I live in the state of Virginia & begin my cdl school sept 8.

    If you have a license that is currently active then you can get your CDL.

    I wouldn't worry. I had a suspension before I obtained my CDL. Didn't have any trouble getting my CDL once I paid the fine.

    I don't know if you going to tech school, community college or company sponsored training. I went the tech school route in Va. and the first day of school I had to bring MVR and they looked at it and told me if could get a job. There were guys they turned and I'm pretty sure they got a refund. If the school is a decent one looking out for your interest they should let you know if you got red flags and your wasting your time. Another thing you can check the manual http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/pdf/dmv60.pdf If you want to be sure ask the school also. The biggest issue is are you employable! Good Luck

    I just looked through the dmv manual it says nothing about it being disqualifying (page 8) so I guess I'm in the clear

    While you very well be able to obtain your CDL, the suspension may be problematic to a company when you look for employment. Having the license does not guarantee a job using that license. You may want to check with your school before you shell out all that $$$
