    Depends on the suspension cause.

    He said it was suspended for unpaid court cost, it will be something of contention for some insurance companies, so I won't say there is not going to be a problem.

    It happens frequently, unfortunately, but there are many current drivers who have had a license suspension in their history.

    When I was applying to companies a Suspension or invalid was a big no no . My license was invalid for 48 hrs and I was pulled over 2 yrs ago and it has prevented me from applying at some good companies , CR England USA truck and swift will probably take you .

    I saw court cost which is usually paid because of a criminal charge.

    A suspension because of unpaid tickets is not a criminal matter. It is a civil matter and therefore will have no effect on anything. Your underlying ticket could be a problem. It will depend on what that ticket was for.

    I've had more suspensions then I can shake a stick at when I was young.

    A few years before getting my CDl a clerical error suspended my license. Never an issue
