Thinking about getting back out there....

I think Drivers Solutions & Transformed are big driver temp services in my area. Someone has a temp service in most areas.

 

There are two people who return to trucking. Those who have fallen on their head and the OP. I would welcome the OP to come back and roll the the white line.

 

Rotary phones, the "phone room" at the truck stop, and the 10 AM check call......

 

Schneider called me today. I have an interview Tuesday. If I clear all the screening hurdles, I got the job. Dedicated Midwest regional tanker.

Wow.....didn't expect a call so fast. I've been chasing down other companies' recruiters by phone all month.

I guess be careful what you wish for.....

I'm looking forward to this. I'm just still in shock!

 

I was in the same boat as the OP, but kept my CDL 12 years experience 10 years off driving. It took me about 3 weeks to get a job. Called or email everyone on Craigslist as I was more interested in local work. Ended up getting a job with a mail contractor.
Something will come up. Contact every company you are interested in even if they ask for recent experience in their add.
Best advice I got when quite driving was "keep your CDL you never know when you'll need it"
Good luck.

 

Well, had my interview, got shot down by the Great Pumpkin.

She gave me the whole spiel about the job, then asks me about the ticket last year when I got in a wreck in my car. I put it on my app, they shoulda known. So we get down to that part and it's "Sorry, the ticket has to be five years old".

WTF? Why didn't you say so when I put in the app?!?

Welp, gotta bait the hook again.....

 

13 rejections this month so far, including Schneider.....

Pressing on, though. Got three more apps out.
