Suspended license

im in the same situation need help

 

contact a couple potential companies' recruiters and ask them.
If it was simply for lack of insurance and not for failure to file a SR-22 form, then likely you will be fine.
But ask first.

 

it should not sense it is over 3 year old but that all depends on the company's insurance

make some calls and see what they say before you spend the money to get a CDL and not able to get a job

 

Were you convicted of a moving violation while your license was suspended? THAT will add points and impair you in finding employment. But if it's just a one day thing which got resolved immediately, it shouldn't be a problem.

 

A year previous to getting my CDL, my license had been suspended for a few days for not paying a speeding ticket on time. Recruiters saw what it was for and just blew it off saying it was no big deal.

Can't say every company will have the same outlook, but enough will that you'll have some options.

 

I can tell you my story, Basicly got pulled over , my insurance was laped one day, you talk about bad luke that was it... so drivinng without insur was the charge. Harrisbugh said my licesense would be reinstated in 6 month, so at the end of july I start driving thinking that all there was to it.Went through a yellow light and was pulled over for that!!! This is when I found out my cdl was never reinstated because I never surrenderd it after the first offense!! Six moer months suspension!!! Reinstated Sept of 2010!!! Prime turned me down today because of it!!! Have to find a co that will take me, 15 yrs exp!!! Someone out there needs a good driver no criminal background....

 

We've had dispatchers and site managers convince drivers to pull overweight loads or speed because "this is is that important" and "the company will pay the ticket." The company can't take the points that go on your license, even if they promptly pay the ticket. If they forget to pay the ticket it's your license suspended, and in one case your butt going to jail.

If you get a ticket, you keep proof you paid that ticket for the rest of your driving career (or life, whichever is longer). After you get the ticket it becomes your job to know it's been paid, get proof it's been paid, or verify everything has been cleared up, and that means not talking to the person that was supposed to pay the ticket, or calling the jurisdiction and having a conversation. It means writing a letter, getting a written verification, and keeping that written verification with you.

Don't act like a teenager and think anyone else gives a rat's rear if you have been protected. It's your rear, it's your license, it's your job to protect it. Assuming this and assuming that is how you get a ride in a police car and an orange jumpsuit. Read the ticket carefully, "fairness" isn't anywhere on it.

 

CaptD as long as you are up front and honest I dont think u will have much of a problem. When u dont tell the company the truth and they dig around is when they dont hire you. If they cant trust you with telling you the truth, why should they with their truck and cargo?

Make some phone calls to employers your interested in driving for and see what they say.

 

I will, Thanks!!!
