    Hi, so I had my license suspended sometime last year for a speeding ticket that I forgot to pay due to some personal things in my life. I got them reenlisted in April & was wondering if there would be any trucking companies willing to hire me?

    Depends on how much over the speed limit you were.
    15+ over is super bad news because in trucking that's reckless driving.

    Yes but it depends..on a few details if you care to elaborate.

    When was the date of the speeding ticket?
    How much over the limit were you?
    Anything else negative on your mvr record?

    Just being suspended could cause issues for some companies.

    Was your license a CDL when it was suspended?

    If I was a safety guy, I would look real close as to the reason why it was suspended ( he forgot to pay it)
