    See I'm in California I forgot about a couple tickets so court put a hold on my license until paid . I know my fault.. so I paid them in full hold is off my license. I wanna go get my CDL A , but concerned that it counts as a suspended license and a mega carrier SAYS NO SUSPENDED IN LAST 1 YEAR .that I don't fit requirements. ANY THOUGHTS?

    What are the tickets for?
    Speeding? A 15 mph over is reckless driving.

    I am curious, I never heard of a hold on a license before. Is this just a California thing?

    A hold is a suspension, the wording will say suspended, not "on hold" Get a ticket, I mean citation, don't settle it, license gets suspended until you settle . A little friendly advice,,,,keep your license squeaky clean.

    The license was actually suspended. The date it was reinstated is the date you need to start from. Probably the best action is to wait one full year from the date the license was reinstated. Now you need to keep that license clean. Not even a parking ticket. Then you can work on getting the CDL. You will have a much better chance of getting hired at a reasonable company this way.

    There will be carriers that will hire you. They might not be the best, or even very good, but that suspended license isn't going to help you at all.
    Look at third level regional carriers, agricultural work, and rock haulers.

    It's been many years since I lived in California. But I had my license suspended because I didn't pay a fine. Got everything back and 2 months later I had a CDL. When they ran my MVR the suspension for fine non payment didn't show. Might be different now.

    Per dmv they said there's a hold on your license. Cuz I don't have one. It expired 2 years ago didn't need it so never renewed it. But yes dmv said its a hold . Court submitted a hold for failure to pay. I try to keep clean .
