    Thanks guys for the info.

    I have not gone to apply in person, I have applied online and then followed up on the phone.
    The replies I received were either not hiring in my area or need more experience.

    Here is the list, maybe this can help someone else as well.

    JB Hunt- Not enough experience
    Gordon- Not enough experience
    Arrow- Not enough experience
    Heartland- Not enough experience
    Schneider- Not enough experience
    CR England- Not enough experience
    US Express- Not enough experience
    USA Truck- Not enough experience
    Prime- Not enough experience
    May- Not enough experience
    TMC- Out of hiring area
    First Fleet- Not enough experience
    Trans Am- Out of hiring area
    CRST Van- Out of hiring area
    Central refrigerated- Not enough experience
    ATS- Out of hiring area
    FFE- Out of hiring area

    The ones I am waiting to hear back from
    Pride
    J-Mar
    SLT- tried calling a few times
    McKelvey
    Knight
    Con Way
    Heritage
    Western States Petroleum
    Gemini
    Swift
    M Bjorn Peterson

    Most of them I spoke to or left a message for.

    This is the list I have since I started writing them down over the weekend.

    Do you think it makes much difference going down there vs. on the phone? Like I mentioned before some of these companies operate out of a corporate office.

    Thank you again for taking the time to help!

    Hey Larz, Mabe if you took a CDL refresher, a lot of guys out of trucking for a couple years have to do that in order to get hired, Im looking into now, most of the schools that give the cdl class will also give a brief, (40 hour) refresher. Just a thought, as you will probably start out at rookie pay anyway.

    Hi Ike,

    I have thought of that but don't have the funds for it.

    CR England can get me into their refresher course. It is $1400, $100 up front and payroll deduct the rest.

    Thanks, I guess if I want to get back into trucking this might be a way I have to go.

    Wow, why not check with a local community college, I bet it would be a lot cheaper, Chances are with england you'll be an indentured servant.

    I hope it works out for ya, I know what its like to wanna get back out there.

    there was another thread somewhere about CR England scamming drivers out of $1400 for the privilege of working for them.....then they try to steer you into their fleece option scam. hell - you used to be able to take the entire course at a community college for $600!!! and conway is only hiring teams right now. if you wanted solo, you can cross them off your list.

    Another company I just thought of in Phx. Michael Most, kind of like Peterson, so-so equipment. I would be applying in person, but that's just my style. I want results NOW, not possibly later. Also in Tucson, a company called Tucson Transport.
