I'm updating from a previous post.
I started driving in 1998. About 2006 I let my Class A lapse as I had left the road for a good local job. I'm returning to the trucking workforce. I was most recently in a corporate management position, but was laid off and with no success finding a local job to replace it.
I started with CRST and moved on to Charger Trucking, a flatbed company. The same Charger started by the JB Hunt Flatbed execs when JB Hunt dropped their flatbedding. I left Charger in 10/99 just 2 months before they went bankrupt. I then went on to a Reefer company and eventually local jobs to include heavy and equipment, dry van, reefer and flatbed.
Because I let it lapse I have to go through the motions to get my Class A back. So, as of this posting, I have my permit with all endorsements. TSA fingerprinting done for HazMat. I am enrolled in a school for a refresher and for the DMV drive test. Everything has been paid for on my end. However, I will not refuse reimbursement if you offer it.
Due to the CA DMV being backed up heavily, my drive test is scheduled for Dec 11, 2015. So, I will be available for hire immediately after that.
I will have Class A with T & X (Doubles/Triples, Tanker, HazMat). I am looking for Van, Reefer or Tanker positions. I am not looking for flatbed at this time. I live in North San Diego County, so I would need a company with freight lanes in this area to be able to get home every 2-3 weeks or sooner.
No accidents or trucking incidents. Clean 10-year record. No DUI or criminal charges ever.
Excellent Mountain/Hill experience as the majority of my driving was 11-Western to include many back-n-forths over the Rockies and California mountains.
All of my driving experience was prior to DAC existing. So my DAC report shows nothing. (I have one in hand). I don't have much from my driving history, but I do have some pay sheets and driver logs from then to show that I really do have experience.
I understand that any company would have to have a little faith in me, so I am willing to accept a reasonable pay based upon not having "recent" experience. I believe I am definitely worth more than "graduate" pay, but also can accept not receiving top pay based on my actual experience. I am open to reasonable offers. I do not have a Passport, however I am willing to obtain one to do Canada runs.
If you are interested, please let me know and we can discuss it. I'm a good driver and you won't be disappointed. I just need a chance to reenter the field with a livable wage. Thank you.
SoCal based driver. Van, Reefer, Tanker. All Endorsements.
