    The time has come that I'm going to have to go back trucking, don't really want to be that's just the way it goes. Anyway. I know no one is going to take me with 20 years trucking but 3 years off so my question is, who do I go with that's worth working for? I'm guessing I'll have to do a refresher course for a month or so.

    Thanks for the help and Blessings to you all!

    Averitt Express has a refresher course and you should have no problem getting on with them with 20 years. They have a terminal in Kingsport. Shoun Trucking is in Bristol. They are a smaller company but been around since the 70s. They have a pretty good benefit package and home about every weekend and sometimes during the week. Most of their stuff is out and back. Tom and Shiela Shoun are good people to work for. I worked for them for about 12 years.

    There is a mack factory that builds cabs, sleepers and hood componets that go down fancy gap to NC each evening not too far from roanoke on the old Paris gap (Now this road has to be experienced to be believed friends, one of the turn backs over the gap features a view of nothing but sky to get there.
