I haven't driven a truck in 2 months, I'm nervous about returning

If my old company approves my rehire on Monday, I can start orientation on Weds. My only thing is I haven't driven since I quit in may. Prior to that I was OTR with them for about 2 years.

But still, I know we do a road test and backing test, which I don't remember being too hard. Anyone ever take a few months off and come back? About how long does it take to get back into the rhythm and knowing what you were doing. Is it like riding bike

 

You’re overthinking it. You’ll do fine, man.

 

2 months off is nothing, depending on your level of previous experience. Once you get in the truck, it’ll come back to you in no time (or at least should).

 

I was off 15 months before returning.
This time I have been off for 2yrs 9 mo so far. As soon as I get the sleep apnea b.s. taken care of I am coming back
I don't see any issues for me.

 

I took 16 years off and was able to pass the new hire road test. I burned up youtube a few days before watching #### near eveything i could find on doing pretrips and driving in general.

 

The CPAP machine with absolutely change your life.

 

I took 10 years off, just came back a couple months ago.

You'll be fine. It IS like riding a bike.

 

Yea I would assume it's like riding a back. It'll all come back to you. I mean we took a driver back who hadn't driven in 6 months and didn't even give him a road test, they gave him a truck and a preplan.

 

Yes, took some time off to work in the office as a dispatcher. Honestly, within a few hours everything felt familiar again.

 

If the company is Swift I really wouldn’t worry about it. Don’t jump a curb and you’re hired. It’s really that simple.
