    You usually need at least 3 years since the suspension. It will be tough getting back in probably for awhile, and even if you do you'll probably have to go back to school since it's been so long.

    O rigI didn't pay a traffic ticket in a passenger car, moved shortly after and never realized it was suspended until I got pulled over again with a head light out, in a passenger car as well.

    Thank you to all. I figured it would be tough. But I didn't think it would be this bad. Needless to say, I learned the hard way and regret it every day

    Try these companies; do online app. then follow with a phone call in a couple of days. Don't call first; it's easy to say no on the phone.


    Martin Enterprises of the Carolinas Inc.
    Falcon Transport
    K&B Transportation
    Carolina Cargo
    Western Express
    Paschall Truck Lines
    Buel Inc.
    Gray Transportation
    Apergis Transportation

    I know Paschall may retrain you free if you stay 12 months or charge you $1500.00 if you leave early. Don't know the policy of the others.

    So he's hiding something because he got out of trucking for 5 years? Haha, now that's funny. I was out of trucking for 10 years before I came back. Does that mean I'm hiding something too?

    at the worst they might send you out with a trainer for a short time. and if the trainer is new he might learn something from you
