    I was out 10 years. Man stuff has changed. First is the electronic devices make trip planning alot easier. But with the ELD you can't fudge the log book.
    It's more of a job than a career for most drivers and it shows in how they act.
    Pay is the same as it was 10 years ago, inflation somehow skipped drivers wages.
    Cameras, ELD, GPS load tracking,lane departure buzzer, auto braking, automatic transmission, DEF, regen, reserved parking and Flip-flops are all new to me. Come on back we need more old dogs. Good luck.
     
    dwells40 and Hasty518 Thank this.
