    Some driving experience, took a break, need advice getting back into trucking

    Hi everyone,

    I drove for the 101st/887 enrg com in the late 80s 2 1/2 to 5 ton dumps my mos was 64c / 88m. 2008. In Washington state went to Big Bend College. Under Randy Miller got my CDL. Got a job working a for Coors ( combo 48' to 52') delivering beer and wine for 2 countys.

    I moved to Florida to stay with my relitives . Had my CDL transfered to Florida .. Ive got my CdL, Ive got my updated Med card... CDL is clean, Pass port, clean personal record. But I have little experiance, no direction. I realy dont know where to start or do I need to find someone to team drive with.( Preferably a Gal with a great sence of humor)

    Hope some one can help me out with a bit of advice.

    Thank you, Tom Martin

    if you're willing to roll this industry is like a gift that keeps giving. But Florida is not one of the better places to be.

    well your experience is going to mean nothing and you're currently in the worst state for freight in the US. Sounds good right. Not trying to be an arse, just facts. Contact a recruiter for one of the big companies and see what they say just so you know where you stand.

    I had no issues with them but I did one year exactly and got out, it's just a large organization and you're a number. Not too hard to deal with for a year really, being left alone is pretty #### great sometimes.
