Will a past suspended drivers license prevent me from getting a job?

    So I am considering becoming a truck driver and I have been reading about suspended licenses. I had a license suspended last year for not paying a ticket. The license has been reinstated successfully. I am wonder if this will be an impediment to getting a CDL and or a job in the industry? Thanks.

    IT may be more about the original ticket rather than the suspension

    Yeah just getting the ticket last year will definitely matter what the ticket was for. Like a 15 over speeding ticket on top of that suspension will really hurt.

    So was your license suspended last year? Or was it 6 months ago?

    And what was the ticket?
