    I've been out of trucking for almost 20 years. Joined military in 1993 and just came out last year. Anyone have any information on good schools for refresher courses? Still have my CDL but haven't driven since 1993.

    Thanks

    Refresher courses are everywhere in both states.
    One is "Ace Driving Center" - Byrum, MS

    Better ask though if a company will hire you with only a refresher after being away from driving for 20 years.
    Lots of changes since then; you probably won't recognize trucking now compared to 20 years ago.
    Consider going through a complete CDL school at a community college.

    Your CDL isn't valid for commercial driving w/o a valid medical card, and you're probably not insurable with just a refresher course.
