    So I'm filling out an application. And I'm at the part where it asks me, "Has your license, permit, or privilege to drive ever been suspended or revoked for any reason? [49 CFR 391.21(b)(9)]"

    Is this concerning a commercial driver's license, or any driver's license?

    It says privilege to drive, not privilege to drive commercial vehicles. I had my license suspended 3X and revoked once before I ever had a physical license. Every driving application I ever filled out, that was put into the section asking that question.

    Don’t over think it. Just put down the dates and reasons why your whatever license got suspended.

    I personally run a 7 year mvr check but plan on a carrier running 10 year check to be safe.

    Life happens, if they don’t like it they can suck eggs :)

    I had mine suspended for 9 hours in Florida for not turning in a vehicle tag after I canceled the insurance, lol.

    (9) A statement setting forth in detail the facts and circumstances of any denial, revocation, or suspension of any license, permit, or privilege to operate a motor vehicle that has been issued to the applicant, or a statement that no such denial, revocation, or suspension has occurred;

    So to me, that reads "any" license held for any motor vehicle.

    Okay. I was just wondering because it was talking about FMCSR's, and all of the other questions were talking about commercial vehicles as well so I wasn't sure. I just didn't want to answer to the wrong thing.

    I lost my class-C 21 years ago for a year. I've never been pulled over since then, but I still list it on applications.
