Hello out there,
Just an old feller trying to get back into trucking here, the wife and I just got back from following our dream, we sailed off into the sunset on our 35ft sailboat for 5 years - cruising & living the good life.
We have returned & its back to reality - bills to pay & all the stuff that makes life worth living.
I have run into a catch-22, I thought getting a job on my return would be a snap, truck drivers can always find a job - right - WRONG !!!!!!
The companies I have contacted, including my past two employers say they can not hire me unless I have driven in the last 3 years. I have been out of the cab for 7 sailing the oceans. Heck of a thing with a fellow with van & hazmat tanker experience to face.
Anywho - if any of ya"ll know a way out of my catch-22 situation please pass it on. In the meanwhile I am planning on contacting a few driving schools to see if perhaps a refresher course may help or maybe drive a popsicle truck or something to get 6 months recent experience.
Lots of good info on this site - I like it.
