My guess will be that you have to wait at least a year. Stating "no tickets in the last five years" is a little deceptive. It implies you were driving but did not receive tickets which wasn't the case. Your driving privilege was revoked and therefore you were not able to accumulate tickets. Big difference.

Kinda like a bank robber saying "I haven't robbed a bank into ten years" then finding out he was in prison all that time. How could he?

Sounds like you are going to have to prove your driving abilit by keeping a clean record.. Plus...if you haven't driven a car in that long...how comfortable or safe could you be driving a big rig? I'd think long and hard about this.

Like I said swift hired me under similar circumstances so maybe there is a chance there.

But u also said you got your license back in July and are going the end of January right? So that's close to seven months having your license back?

He's got one month so.most likely won't have anything soon. Swift sounds like a great choice and I hope things work out for both of you

That is true. But I had actually started talking with my recruiter while my license was still suspended and while I am not saying every experience will be like mine, he did everything he could to keep me on track and focused. I received the contingent letter in May and I stayed on him as much as he stayed on me. It is worth a shot and the worst he can hear is no. But if the O.P. wants to give it a shot I will definitely pass the info on. I know what it was like in his situation and always hearing no. I am thankful for the opportunity I have and want to pass it on to others.

I got my license back about a month ago. I didnt have any tickets because i wasnt driving!

You said you got it back "recently" but no tickets in five years. So when did u get it back? Did you not get tickets cause it was suspended or were you driving illegally but didn't get tickets and you are proud of that?/haha sorry

We need some info

When u got it back will make a difference

My license was suspended because i had a wreck without insurance and had to work out a payment arrangement with the insurance company so they would release my license.

Ok so i had a car wreck about 10 years ago. My license was suspended until i recently got it back. I want to get in to truck driving and start making a better life for my family. I haven't had any tickets in 5 years and i dont have to carry SR- 22 on my insurance. Is there anyway for to go to school and start driving soon or do i have to wait? Or are there some companies out there that would be willing to work with me?
