ATS might be a good fit for you or maybe pulling super size loads.I would stay away from megas that advertise alot.most have a policy that would require you to take a refresher course and judging by your thread you dont need that.

Because of insurance reasons you will probably need to take a refresher if you don't have recent experience in the past 6 months.

G13Tomcat Thanks this.

There is a consensus that with the avg. Diesel Price (Texas) around $1.80/Gal. There is definitely money to be made. I will keep Both eyes open this go 'round for sure. -

The OP needs to say what type of "trucking" interests him and what he is "designed for". Lots of options can be ruled out with this clarification.

I would like to get in to Drop&Hook Hauling, I would prefer not to have to own trailers initially.
But I realize starting out I may have to compromise what I do for Miles/income. -
LOL basically looking for the perfect job great miles/great money and their trailers! not too much eh?
-
Well, if I'm hearing you right, you have since sold your truck and want to be a company driver? Home time is not important? or you need dependable and frequent home time?
Drop and hook hauling? No, I don;' think you want that. That will put you with mostly mega carriers. However, JS helwig, Terrell does a lot of D/H out of the meat plants and other facilities on the eastern seaboard and will run you all the miles you can legally run if your Ok with eastern/central US only.
And don't get hung up on eLogs. I fought them too, but quickly found they are not an issue if you are with a truly long-haul carrier. Regional, they could be a real problem otherwise they are more of a driver benefit, then a driver liability. -

I lost my truck and business in 2008
Been out of it since then.
Still have the bug after 8 years away.
I am looking at possibly buying another Truck and starting up again.
I have not driven since early 09.
Just looking at what options there may or may not be for my scenario.
