I'm trying to find some info/advice to help a driver. I have a O/O that tried to lease to us here at Liberty Freight Co, but our insurance won't cover him.
He has about 4 years of OTR experience, but has been out of the game for over 10 years (kept CDL current). The oil field downturn forced him back into trucking and he decided to buy a truck. He can show some drive time in the past 3 years, but it's not verifiable per se. Is there a company out there that will take him as an O/O and not pay him $1.00/mile?
If not, anyone recommend a smaller company he can run with as a company driver for a while to be able to clear the insurance hurdle?
Not driven in 10 years, what should I do?

Several companies will hire him as a company driver, with that long gap in driving.
Which state does he live in?
`
Abilene Motor Express probably hire him as a company driver. Abilene has hired a few drivers with a 20 yrs. gap in driving, but kept their cdl updated.

It's probably not the option that he wants, but he could get his own authority.
