Need Advice going back OTR

I drove OTR from 4/2008-5/2009 and came off the road due to my wife's health. In 2010 I was driving a day cab with a 53ft. dry box within a 150 mile air radius and after getting the shaft in December of 2010 I have done some other work like driving concrete trucks, end dumps and dump trucks (which was the last thing I did). The job market in SEMO is pathetic and still a lot of dump trucking companies are still sitting pretty much idle. Dump trucking is alright but S**** in the winter time.

So to make a long story short.....My question is....Since I havent drove OTR in a few years, what would be some good companies to apply to so I could get back to driving OTR?

 

Your right Aflak, its what a person makes of it. I have read too much when it comes to Swift and have talked to drivers that work for Swift and that has been enough for me to not even give them consideration. If Swift was my ONLY choice then I would probably go back to factory work or resort to crime. I appreciate your input but Swift is just not an option.
If I cant get back OTR then I will check out local sawmills in the area to see if they need a driver hauling ties, slabs or lumber. For where I live...job market is pathetic to say the least. Even driving for a sawmill or pallet mill....them jobs are hard to get also. Things around here are so bad the people hang on to the jobs like a piece of gold because it is.

 

I dont have much but what I do have is my own house on 2 acres. I like it here and so does my wife and we both would be kicking ourselves later if we sold and moved. Plus, with the housing market like it is, I would never get what its worth. We have lived here long enough that we cant picture ourselves living anywhere else.

 

Thats been a thought. Im not totally ruling it out. Slow trucks but they sure keep'm clean. Ive been checking out some other companies in MO and waiting to see whats going to happen.
