    I posted this somewhere else but got no reaction. So here it goes again: Mississippi DPS has a glitch in their computer system and it's showing CDLs expired/cancelled when they're actually okay. I just found out because I'm looking for a job and got the news that my license is "expired" even though I just renewed it last month. Mississippi drivers be aware.

    More likely a personnel glitch than a computer glitch.

    I went to DMV and the lady said "we have CDLSs that disappeared completely from the system and others that show as "expired". Trooper had to take my license to his cruiser and re-active it. So, you're mistaken. It is a system failure.

    It's probably because they just got Windows 98 there in Mississippi.

    All jokes aside, I am just trying to warn Mississippi drivers that you might be affected by this glitch. As I said, I renewed my CDL and hazmat endorsements last month. And a potential employer alerted me this morning that my CDL comes up as expired. Bad timing, since I have been actively applying online since last week. Who knows how many jobs have I missed because they all saw "expired" ?

    I said “more likely” so I can’t be mistaken.
    I deal with MHP on a regular basis and they are short staffed and the staff is under trained and thrown on the line. Again more likely a personnel issue.

    Glad I changed mine to a new state a couple weeks ago.

    Why hasn't Mississippi made a public statement about this so people can check to see if their license was affected?

    Likely just happened to this one poster due to human error.
    Like most states the paper application likely got typed into their system by a data entry clerk that either dropped a number or hit the wrong key or whatever. It's unlikely to be a system wide issue.
    Even if not a transcription error, still human error for one license is more likely.
