Retired, question.

Anybody out here care to reply, been retired for 4 years, bored want to truck again, have Class A current FedMed, nobody will hire me, even with 43 years experience. Have things changed that much out here.

 

The market is slow but look for smaller places. My last position was a family-owned warehouse with trucking and we preferred older, experienced drivers finding they handled the urban market better than younger guys. Places like this are out there, problem is finding them.

 

Yes, I'd consider yourself blessed you were able to retire. Overall trucking is no longer a stable career, too many companies/ politicians trying to drop all of the barriers to entry. You could have a 100 years trucking experience, but most companies only care about the last three years unfortunately.

 

The short answer is yes

 

Where are you?

 

Retired and back to driving part time. Went to a 100 truck fleet, can drive as many or few days as I want. Treated very well.

 

After four years, I suspect you will need a refresher. Regardless of how many years of experience you have. Those 4 years away are a serious problem.

 

Southeast Wisconsin.

 

There's a lot of dairy hauling I've seen. I've seen a lot of short class b tankers in Wisconsin.
