After getting canned by CTL in March 2016 (see my thread from then in Tanker, Bulk and Dump Truck Forum), I am thinking of getting back into it. I have my hazmat/tanker endorsement and TWIC card and a current DOT physical card. Are there any companies willing to take me on? Should I do a driver refresher course (not sure I can afford to do this)? Any other suggestions? I'm near Savannah.

Maybe we could meet up and get a Round in if Ur availableGolfPro Thanks this. -
With only 2 months experience, 2 years ago, you will probably be concidered new. Id expect to go with a trainer the standard 4-6 weeks depending on where you go. Most companies arent going to see your experience as worth too much. Just enough to get your footin the door to be trained again. Just start applying to companies like you did last time. Someone will give you a shot.

So you have a total of 2 months. Sweet Jesus. Your so new. What kind of work are you looking for? Best if @Chinatown helps you as you need it.

Contact Abilene Motor Express; this company will probably hire you.
Try Abilene first and if that doesn't work out, let us know; there are other options.
I remember you when you first started, before cdl school.
Good to see you're still interested.
GolfPro Thanks this. -
