laugh or pull my hair out

Find a company that will appreciate your skill set. That's their way of depressing driver pay and keeping profits high. i would tell them where to shove it.

 

You need to look at different companies. I didnt have an issue and ive been out of a truck for a year and a half.

 

there are other companies.

the major carriers are the ones to stay away from. your nothing but a number to them. you risk a negative remark on dac. and a whole bunch of other reasons to stay clear.

i know where your comingt fr0m through. went down that road myself. the excuse i got was i need to know my way around the country. ummmmmmmmm. gps has been getting me around just fine. and making my deliveries and pickups.

the only refresher i needed. was the new hos rules. and i learned that from this forum.

 

For sure stay away from any company that "thinks" you need a refresher course. If your MVR looks good... you're golden ! Look for smaller outfits. Your real selling point ( as I see it) is you can do it all without a flinch. Drive OTR to the big city to make the delivery and drive in the congested area without coming apart.

I don't see your attitude as arrogant at all.

 

I was out since 1997, decided to go back out on the road. Kept getting told, class for $4- 5000.

I told them to pack sand and found a local 25-truck company that would work with me. 5 months later, I bought my own truck and am now leased on with BigBadBill at Farm2Fleet.

 

I don't know about other companies, but with us the ins. requirement is 3 yrs, clean MVR, after that I personally take any new guys for a road test. You can tell pretty quick who can drive and who can't. But again, we are a small company. JMHO.
