First, why was your license canceled? If you passed the test and drove for four years , how was Swift the cause? Check the local schools, they might rent you a truck and trailer. There is an outfit here in Alabama called "Test Ready" that for $425 they take you through the pre-trip, backing, and driving part of the test plus provide the vehicle to do it. There might be something in Ga like it.

How can a private business cancel or revoke a license that was granted by the state?

it "might be" that some time ago, in Tennessee i believe the state went in and shut down the Swift driving academy. depending on circumstances, the state may have "voided or nullified" licenses obtained through any of the schools ANY trucking company was responsible for, due to (perhaps), poor training, or a poor safety record, or a host of "other reasons" ANY state deems of good reason.

Probably revoked by the state since the driver used a private company to obtain the CDL. lets face it, these new drivers that can't back up would not have passed at a state testing facility. If it were up to me no company would be able to write off on a driver who clearly still has problems driving a rig.
