Okay what now?

Tell you the truth I don't think any trucking company is going to hire you without a refreasher program.Actually if you been off the truck over 8 years I would go back to trucking school,8 years is a long time.When I was in trucking school there was a guy who had 10 years of exp but haven't drove trucks over 6-7 years and he had to attend trucking school again,he keep his class A but was in the same shoes.Its due to insurance reasons nothing personal companies gotta follow what there insurance company allow them to hire.

 

there is a way, stay away from the big sheety companies. I dont know how much trucking exp you have, but if you have 5+ years exp look at smaller companies that have brains....they WILL reconize your exp. You'll make more money with the small guys as well.

I never had an insurance carrier that stated anything of the sort I would hire a man like this over a school graduate anytime
More then likely it just a way for them to have ya on the hook so they get a period of indentured servitude

 

so if I read this right you have been using your CDL just not OTR I never could see the sense for the OTR stipulation you can ether drive the truck or not the only thing that OTR exp states to me is an ability to put up with abuse has been established

 

i would try something like ..... lie about where you drove Tri-state/48 kinda sounds the same

 

Its to bad people have to lie about stuff but sometimes you have to lol. I think the whole recent exp is a bunch of bs. really pisses me off.

 

Do not Lie They Will check and You will be on the never hire list ! And it is an insurance issue I have trained local drivers with up to 19 years local but no otr and no gap in driving ! New rules we have to play by, not fair but its the way it is !

 

what is the requirements to meet "otr" ? example how many states etc.
or miles traveled. thanks
