Going back to trucking after 6months off

was out of a truck for a yr.

got hired and went out.

smaller company with a small terminal in my area.

no refresher course or trainer.

no problem at all.

 

well i hope you guys are write but /ive been away for 10 years over amillion safe with one carrier .seems like i just stared last week. we were a husband &wife team hauled A/b exp decated to one company /sold the truck in 1997 /dee got cancer and passed in 2008 the boys are now grown men and i just need to have something to busy my hands .just looking to get in /called all the big carries /and same /o stuff/no experance start over .its ok but so far no offers.

 

If you want to shake off some of the rust and get used to a 10 speed contact a local driving school, and make sure they have a 10 speed. If they don't ask them who in the area does, likely they'll know. I have been out 13 years and trying to get back in. I rented a truck and instructor 2hrs for $200. Within 20 minutes I was fine. So I know I will be fine for road test. Only challenege is getting a local company to hire me.

 

Went back to the same Co.(long story lol)
So....there wasnt much of a readjustment.

 

please tell where you rent a tractor for two hours i think it would be per fit iv already got my wagon 1998 53/reefer

 

I came back after taking about a year and a half off. Biggest readjustment was sleeping in my truck instead of with my wife every night. Ohh and the first few curbs got rubbed too LOL

 

with Andrus, I can't say you won't go out with a trainer, but unlikely. Also trust me. You will not have an issue with the road test.

 

Kd8 curbs are fine, cars are not fine haha
