refresher training

How long has it been since you attended school ?How long did you drive before you decided to put your CDL on the shelf collecting dust?Think all the mega carriers require a refresher course if have'nt drove for so long.

 

Hey man I'm right down the road from you in Asheboro...How much total experience do you have...0 to 1 year....2 to 10 years....more than 10...to some companies it will make a difference...

 

Did you contact Paschall Truck Lines?

 

Was also thinking about driving again and taking a refresher at Johnston Community College in Smithfield NC but it costs $650.00.You could try PTL or Western Express I see ads on cragslist and they offer refreshers.

 

You're probably going to have to start over from Square 1. Your experience is a detriment. Rookie drivers can pretty much be counted upon to bump into things, but it's veterans who are almost exclusively involved in the catastrophic crashes, so I doubt insurers will touch you with just a refresher. You can probably get your tuition covered, or at least the downstroke for school from your state. A lot has changed over 10 years, perhaps most significantly the HOS that drove me from driving to teaching.

 

I have been thinking about going back also. I have found a couple places that talk like they will put me to work. I have been out 13 years. There not in your area both real small companies. not 100 percent i want to drive again with 2 young kids but i kind of want to see if i can get back in and beat all bs now days.

 

I have been out of trucking 7 years and I think I need to do it all over again. Only positive I will have is having my cdl and medical card.
