1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

Looking to come back to driving but need advise

    Heck I did not know you were over there.. Last time I talked to you I was in TX and you was thinking about driving again. What happened to the gig in MO you went to? I thought you were wrenching there.

    Hi There!
    This is Elenah from Canada!
    Im new on this site!

    I have a CDL and I have no problem paying for a refresher myself and I realize that I will end up going back out with a trainer, not a problem with me. I make great $$$ working in "hell", so I will be able to take the "hit" of the low pay while being retrained.

    Good Luck!...
    Thanks!

    Yeah, I was wrenching in MO, but the aviation sector got hit REAL hard. We got to where we were only working 20 hours a week and I had to make a move. I'm now looking in advance for when I'm done in the sandbox.

    If you have any ideas or prospects for me feel free to send them my way.

    OK let me do some pondering. When you coming back and where you going to live? I will see if I can kick something up for you.

    Well, I am currently in the US on R&R, but I was notified last night that my job over there could very well be ending REAL soon. So I would "entertain" any and all options. I/we still live in Columbia, MO (right on I-70).

    OK I will do some looking around. The no recent is what is going to limit your options.

    Yeah, no problem. What are you wanting to do? Box, reefer, flat, tanker?

    I knew you started with stevens... remember I used to read your adventures.... I liked the part about the dumb and dumber whose parents were not married at birth when you broke the sound barrier descending...:biggrin_2559:
