    Im in the south chicago suburbs. I was previously running as Owner Op when my CDL was wrongfully suspended for nonpayment of child support. It took a few weeks to get it fixed and I defaulted on the truck. I got a regional company job, and 8 months later child support suspended it again. I just got it fixed after a year and a half. So I have been driving as a spotter in the mean time. To recap- freshly valid CDL, no verifiable experience in 18 months, 12-18 months verifiable experience in 3 years. Most of the companies I’m finding either want more recent verifiable experience, and/or need to have a valid license longer than a couple weeks. Anyone know where I should apply? I’d prefer regional for 6 months or so until more doors opened up.

    Most companies won't hold it against you for delinquent child support. They realize you can't pay child support if you're not employed.
