    Howdy all,
    This is my first time on a blog or forum, so I don't know what to expect, so here goes. After driving for 30 yrs, - " turnpike doubles " in upstate N.Y. & for Crete, cross country, I've been away for 7 yrs. now I'm gonna try & make a comeback. I've got my class A & goin to school to get my "sea legs" back & to learn the new hours regulations. What if anything has changed out there ? what are some of the better companies nowadays to start out with ? Thanx

    Welcome Appaloosa! From many of the posts I've read here, I get the feeling that there has been a lot of change over the past 7 years and there's more change coming. The vets and newbies will let you know how the changes could affect you on a day to day basis. Good luck and stay in touch with us!
