Hang in there bud.... you sound like a good guy with a great determination for getting into this field... just keep pounding on doors, and something will breakfor you. good luck brother....
I am also looking to get back on the road. I have had my cdl since 1992 drove with JB, Us Express, TRL, Schneider. drove alot of local in the 90"s also. I haven't drove otr sice 2004, but around harvest time I was going up to wisconsin and helping out a friend of a friend harvesting his crops. but that is not verifiable experience according to most of the company's I have talked with.... And they are wanting me to do the school thing over again

. I cant see going through a 150 hr school when i already have a cdl with all endorsements, and a current medical card. (Dont make since to me.. ) So I thought i would see if any O/O is looking for a GOOD driver. I have no accidents, I have one speeding ticket , (that was in my pickup truck) that should almost be coming off.
I am a good driver looking to make an honest buck. I have been devorced for about a year now, and that was one of the reason i came off the road. So the hometime thing is not as important. I live in the Knoxville, TN area, so if anyone is looking / or knows of somebody looking , I would really appreciate the opprotunity to get back on the road without going through the driver mills..... I am willing to team or solo . I am very easy to get along with, and could be a great partner for team.
Thanks for any replies and ya'all be safe out there......
