    After 30 yrs in the business, I'm done with hauling garbage. I have a Class A but no one will hire me because of no experience in the last year. I live in Arizona. What can I do? TIA

    No problem, some companies will put you through a refresher course and have you on the road soon.
    Knight Transportation in Phoenix, is one of them.
    CDL School - Drive Knight
    https://driveknight.com/driving-associates/training/cdl-school
    The refresher course is 1 week long. Yes, once hired, you will be compensated while attending school and while receiving over the road training. Does Knight cover lodging and transportation to Phoenix? Since you are not under contract with Knight, applicants are responsible for …
    Probably make the most money in Knight's refrigerated division.

    That's going to be a problem all over the industry.
    We'll find something though.
