Hi Everone,
Havn't driven in about 15 yrs. and let my CDL go, but will be going through the school again. Looking forward to being back on the road again.
WOW how things have changed!!

Hi and welcome, of course I'm 'new but new'.
I was wondering why you want to get back into driving? (or do we call it trucking?). Why did you stop?
Besides fuel prices what has changed? A short recap is all I need but the more you write the more we'll learn.
　
I've never been a trucker but looking at a career change. Other than the times I was listening to a J Cash, R Sovine, or McCall song I never thought about driving a big rig, but now it looks like something I'd like to do.
So you getting back in, may shed so light on my research.
ThanksLast edited: Jun 18, 2012

I hauled steel for about 7 yrs. and loved it. Company sold and got rid of their drivers and hired lease drivers. I was offered a good non driving job and took it. About 5 yrs later that company sold & moved to Mexico.
Went into Real Estate for the last 7 yrs but its not paying the bills, and I've missed driving ever since I left. Can't wait to get back on the road again. 
Mainly the technology has changed, no GPS or cell phones back then. Also here in NY I need a Metal Coil Endorsment now, didn't need it back in the 90s.
Good luck on the career change!Cy Ran Thanks this.
