Hello drivers,
All right, I am looking to go back in the truck driving I still have a current CDL and current physical. I came off the road, March 2020 when Covid was running rampant and got a local job, hauling sand and gravel with a day cab and a 40 foot dump trailer. That was when I lived in South Georgia now I’ve moved back to Atlanta and took a job with Salem carriers the leasing company and drove local for them. Just moving equipment around basically just a shop driver. So, I have had zero OTR experience in the last four years but prior to that I have close to 10 years over the road. The reason I’m asking is there are certain companies I’m not gonna drive for, I have a very clean MVR and a great record just no recent experience with somebody name a couple decent companies for me to take a refresher course Whatever else I need to do thanks in advance
I need some advice guys…

No recent OTR experience means you'll most likely be viewed as a noob.
Good luck

Look for smaller local companies rather then looking for a mega that has the 3 year requirement.

You're driving now, just local, so many companies won't require a refresher.
