How To Get A Job And Training After Recent DL Suspensions.
Topic 21751 | Page 1
How recent was your license reinstated? That is a big factor. Mine has been good for two years but a lot of companies want the suspension convictions three years in the past. Blow is a list of companies that offer training. There is also a link on here for second chance companies I'm just not finding it right now. Those are companies that will hire with felony convictions. Maybe some of the more experienced members can post that link.

Can anyone help me? My drivers license was suspended in a couple different states.. Recently I've been reinstated in such states. My DL in the state I live in now has been good for a year now. However I have several felony convictions for driving revoked in the past. All made good and no danger of losing license again..i need a company that is looking for a motivated person to train and hire me.
