If his CDL is restored at the end of the year, he can drive a truck. However, you should check with your insurance carrier as they may have certain conditions which must be met before they will permit him to drive for you.

If your employee is caught driving on a suspended CDL, both you and he face being fined up to $5,000 each, plus jail time.
Your employee will need to go to the DMV and apply to re-instate his CDL; and until he shows you proof that he has a valid CDL, you should not allow him behind the wheel of any of your vehicles.
