well, i just got done with orientation last week with swift and it turns out that i have some problems.
i did my CDL schooling with CR England back in 2007 and when i did that i had to switch my drivers license to an Indiana drivers license to take the cdl test in Indiana at there school. well that was in July 2007, then in September i finally managed to make it back to Ohio to get my cdl switched back to Ohio. all seemed to go fine and i parted ways with CRE in April 2008. well i haven't been on the road in a semi since then and i got on with swift and they wanted my Indiana drivers license number and i didn't have it. so i called up CRE and after spending all day on the phone with them i finally managed to get the Indiana drivers license number and gave it to the lady that needed it (this was while i was in orientation mind you) and finished orientation and never got coded. well i finally get a call from swift today saying that for some reason my Indiana drivers license is suspended and the only thing that swift can find out is its suspended because of medical reasons and i am like WTF. so i spend half today on the phone trying to figure out whats going on with this.
well it turns out that Ohio never bothered to let Indiana know that i gave up my Indiana drivers license and got a Ohio one so now i seem to have 2 drivers licenses, one in Indiana and one in Ohio, and am not allowed to drive on eather one because the Indiana is suspended and the Ohio one don't count because the federal database has me pointed at Indiana still.
so i have been driving since July 2008 not legally evidently.
Ohio is saying that Indiana needs to file a "Change State of Record" while Indiana is saying that Ohio needs to file the "Change State of Record" and now everyone is closed so i cant get ahold of anyone to try and get this all straightened out.
so what you guys think i should do. i plan on calling Indiana again tomorrow since the last person i was talking to was Ohio and i guess i just have to keep bouncing back and forth till i can get this all fixed. and Ohio refuses to call Indiana and Indiana cant get a hold of Ohio because you have to try like 10 million times because there number is always busy....
over all i just hate the stress and headache this is calseing. what you guys think?
what do you guys think about my little problem...

well i did start out at the local BMV (when Indiana told me to talk to ohio anyway) but they couldn't do anything for me. they said everything has to happen at the state BMV level and i cant just drive to Columbus and walk in to there office and try and get it all straightened out because that's a 3 hour drive and i cant afford the gas to get there and back

Why would Indiana suspend the license? Because you have a OH license? How did they get wind of it other than a license change? States should be use to CDL process with out of state schools.
Sounds like OH screwed up and did a reinstatement on your original license instead of a state change over? You are going to have to take care of the suspension part by getting to the root of the OH messup.
Your money receipts and paperwork should clarify everything??
It's funny how you have to follow their procedures but when they mess up because they didn't follow procedures... Sounds like a mess. Good luck.
If it makes you feel better, when I got my CDL I had to clear up four states of suspensions all over a speeding ticket when I was 16 years old. I wasn't even driving.
I had to pay the fine and get a letter of clearance from each state along with all the fees. -
