Where to start , I have class A, hazmat, and tankers.....

Ellisjay2 I'm in a similar position as you. I've had my class A CDL with hazmat and tanker for over 25 years. Did the trucks you primarily drove have the splitter on the side of the stick you pull up or push down to split hi/lo range? My experience was with single axle straight trucks pulling fertilizer spreaders or nurse tanks around and also hauling feed to farmers over 25 years ago. That's what they had for transmissions.

I did work for a coop in 2018 for a couple months hauling fertilizer with tandem axle straight trucks with a 10 speed. My experience is limited so I doubt it would count for a company. I live in rural area so there's no use in looking at LTL jobs as I'm over an hour away from a city that has them. I'm hoping someone could tell me if I'd need to sign a contract as I've got the CDL I need the training.on T/T.

 

May or may not need a contract. Depends on what's available and the hiring area you live in. What's the nearest city to you?
A contract isn't necessarily a bad deal if it's used as a means to an end.
How important is a new career to you?
How close are you to Oak Creek?
YRC Freight has a terminal there and has training in various places across the country.
After training, you work out the the terminal closest to you.

You shouldn't have a problem finding a truck driver job right now. I live over near Athens. Im 39 and in the process of changing jobs. There are more Class A job openings in our market right now than you can imagine. Just apply to what interests you. Be open and honest at the interview. Let them know that you are willing and eager to learn. Those steady years with the county will look good on an application. It shows loyalty and trust me, that matters. A lot of the drivers coming from OTR have only driven automatics too, don't let that discourage you. I say swing for the fences driver. It doesn't hurt to try.

 

Chinatown, I'm over 3 hours away from Oak Creek. The closest city is LaCrosse WI or Dubuque IA and I'm 2 hours from Madison. It really is OTR for my options at this point and the foreseeable future. Thanks for the reply and the help you give everybody here.
