Suspended, 1YR, time to return...

Ok, here is the senario. I have been off my truck for almost a year now. I tried to take a local job to get some income going while I was in suspension and get somethings going. I couldn't get my cdl back as I couldn't prove my residency. Now I have proof of residency and all I need to do is upgrade my licenses back to CDL-A. The advice I am asking for, is should I go back to a starter company like Swift and gain more experience or should I try to find a smaller company that can run me at least 3200 miles a week? Before I got suspended I had right at a year under my belt, but most everyone has told me that they want recent experence. Who else but swift can I turn to to get my exp back? BTW, liceneses was suspended cause I couldn't pay a ticket on time... I was out of town and forgot about it.
