    Ok here is the deal....Live in the midwest and will probably be looking for a company to start my otr experience over with. Been driving various types of trucks for over 10 years, but the last otr I did was 3 years ago. I have been told that means I have to start over. Any comments, ideas, or suggestions would be appreciative.

    You will be spending time with a trainer as a refresher. How well you do with the trainer will dictate how long you have to live with him. 2-3 weeks maybe. You need to call some companies and ask them what they can do for you.

    Id never go with TMC as an owner opperator, but using them as a stepping stone to get back in the business wouldnt be a bad idea.

    By GTI you mean Gordon out of Washington? There is a guy where I live who was in your same situation. He went with them and seems very happy. He stays out two weeks and is home on Friday evening like clock work. Sorry I couldn't help with any more info but at least he's happy.
