    Last week I had contacted Werner and applied for a driving job,since they didn't really do anything bad to me when I was a company driver(it all started with the family dollar dm's).I was told I was hired,let my boss know,and on my last day (Friday afternoon,was at the time leaving for oriontation sunday)right as I clocked out for the last time I recieved a call from Cindy in recruiting.Again with the "suspended cdl" issue,so I told her to contact Texas and they would send the needed paperwork to prove my cdl wasn't suspended.Well,it wasn't Texas as I was told it was before when I almost went to US Express,it was Ohio.During a period of time when I was unemployed they had my licence suspended for not paying child support,and when I returned to work they never lifted the suspention(I never knew it was suspended to begin with).And after I started paying again they didn't reinstate it since I didn't request it to be ,if I didn't know it was suspended how can I request it to be reinstated.

    ALL I need to be able to get my cdl reinstated is a letter stating I will have a job from Werner if my cdl is reinstated,but they refuse to do it because they say that it's a violation of DOT regulations to hire someone with a suspended licence.If they would fax the letter I would have my licence reinstated before I complete oriontation.
    Now I'm without a job,live 30 minutes from any town of any size(the town our address is in has 85 people in it and nothing more than a little store and a few gas stations)And Ohio refuses to reinstate my licence since I'm unemployed,and to add salt to the wound they contacted the local sherrifs department to let them know my licence is suspended since I threw a fit about it not showing up when they ran a background check for me after the first licence scare with US Express.

    I need some advice guys about what to do about this,Since hubby is coming home after failing his wabi test we need the money that driving will provide.Are all trucking companies this hard nosed and un-helpfull?Even the person I spoke to at the Ohio dmv noticed that I was never notified.

    Also,no money,no legal help,tried that.

    No carrier is allowed to let a driver drive with a suspended license. You must clear up your problems because once a carrier sees your MVR they will conveniently forget you.
