    I was in the business for 24 years but got out in 2004 to take a Govt desk job. Great money but Im bored and looking to get back into trucking with a good company in the Buffalo,Ny area. Any advice?

    weaponsysytem, Honestly sir, you don't want to do it.
    with the fmcsa and thier bs , trucking as you knew it 24 years ago has died.
    i suggest you read the Truckers news, and landline mag, to get caught up with the crap they are wanting in place

    I have been out here a short 9 years, even then it's changed.
    I had just learned to log the way it used to be before the current HOS rules, then like 3 weeks out of school, they changed the rules. And thats for starters.

    Bingo, take week off and do road trip somewhere if you have the travel bug.
