| What you could do What you could do is call some companies ahead of time and ask 'em if you could simply step back into the saddle. Some may hire you after three years. Most will probably want you to take a refresher with a trainer, at the very least. I'm talking about the GOOD outfits, understand. Some may demand a refresher at a training school, such as a community college. One company I'd call is Crete. Ask those guys what you'd need to do. Hopefully, they'd want only about a week with a trainer, but don't be surprised if they want several weeks. I know when I went back to driving full-time, year-round, I had to go with a trainer for three weeks at Crete. I had been off the full-time thing for about 6 years, although I did drive full-time during the summers.

| Good thing you don't believe it Good thing you don't believe it. I'd be driving without a CDL, as I got rid of mine years ago.

| the time frame in most of the ads I've seen is experience within the last 5 years. and with 7 years under your belt, you should be good to go with a lot of companies.
