Clearing suspension for MVR for work

Yes.....a suspension is a HUGE red flag to employers.
Pay the fine and give it a few years to clear off you MVR. Then start looking for work with a CDL, and BTW, keep the reinstated license CLEAN the entire time.

 

Pay the fine and get the license reinstated. Attend a private or community college CDL school and then a few companies will hire you. Many of the mega companies won't, but a few mid-size or smaller companies will.
May have to take what you can in the beginning; at least you will be gaining experience.
Probably find a job on Craigslist with a company that pays on 1099 vs. W-2
Apergis Transportation or Carolina Cargo might hire you. Companies are out there, but you'll have to pound the pavement and knock on some doors.

 

Wow so any type of license suspension even failure to pay a fine makes it harder to obtain a trucking job? even if its not a moving violation that the license was suspended for?

 

Doesn't make it harder to obtain a trucking job, just makes the choices less.

 

Guess so much for getting a tanker job for me.

 

Your cdl school will answer this question for you. They check your record before enrolling you to make sure that if you graduate they can issue you a license. A suspension for a fix a tix is nothing and won't affect your future job prospects at all. I highly doubt they won't enroll you for that. I went to school with guys that had multiple duis and once the suspension was lifted they were fine. Don't forget that the trucking industry hires the most Americans without high school diplomas and employs the most ex-felons. They like to seem like they are picky but pretty much any swinging dick with a good eye two arms and two legs gets the job. Notice I didn't mention you had to have a brain, which after you start driving truck you realize you probably don't have when you ask yourself what was I thinking. Yes you will more than likely have to start out with a big company but that's commonplace with all new cdl holders. Don't let negative people stop you from finding out the truth. go pay you silly little fine in cA and make sure everything is above board before you leave then go get a Oregon drivers licence and then go get your cdl. Remember, careful what you wish for!!

 

Nope go pay your ticket bro.you haven't had a license in four years which means four years of clean driving history,lol.it's actually a good thing. I drove 600000 miles in those four years and did plenty o damage to my license and I'm still out here giving it a go. I'd recommend the trade thing by the way.
