    Glad you made it out ok. After going through an ordeal like that I wouldn't be looking to going back until trucking, but I would be finding the nearest church.

    I didn't go back to trucking regret it somedays I mean in a prime lightweight truck would have to go 1788 miles to make what I make even after $10,000/ in raises but I have good insurance paid for by the company and a company car. I install axle counting systems on the railroad.

    #### sorry for your bad luck man. But get a dmv print out. See how your record looks. Iffy dint have a bunch of points and accidents you,should be okay.

    My suggestion is a small mom and pop,company . There is always an insurance that will take drivers with a little bit more money and possibly only be insured to one truck. Which is what happen to me when I started at 21 with 4points on my record.. Because the company can take off whatever is extra off of your check per month. In most cases it's like 300$/month for the year give or take. But you'll be working which is the important part

    I may go back to trucking if my company makes us start paying for insurance or if my boss retires due to current health issues

    I'd try Earl Henderson Trucking Co. 400 trucks and affiliated with Prime in that they pull Prime trailers and haul Prime freight. Only difference in the trailers Henderson pulls is the mudflaps have Henderson's logo instead of Prime's logo. Their CDL school is in Caseyville, IL and provide you with a single occupant hotel room and 3 meals a day plus a guaranteed minimum weekly paycheck. Coast to coast reefer outfit with an excellent reputation with the drivers.
