Much depends on what the SUSPENSION WAS FOR - and HOW LONG you were suspended.

The suspension was for unpaid tickets. But i kept driving around on suspended license. and in north Carolina they add three years to the suspension. But i was a hard headed **** kept on driving .in total my license was suspended for 14 years .but i can bet you that's the last time that happens but yea just got them back about a month ago been looking online but haven't found any useful info there. so decided to ask the forum

If you've been unlicensed for 14 years - I'd suspect that a company (or even CDL rules themselves) are going to require to hold a regular operators license for a year.

A lot may also depend on when the last DWLS (driving while license suspended) citation was issued.

Most companies don't want to see suspensions for a couple of years. But if you were told to walk a few years back, and you actually obeyed and didn't get caught driving - then you might have a shot.

But again - after not holding a license for 14 years, you are likely to need to get a year under your belt before applying for a CDL.

I'm assuming you had to take written and road tests to re-obtain your regular drivers license, after the suspension was over. Typically, after not holding a license for a year - any jurisdictions want to see a full re-test.
