    I've had my CDL sense 2007 and still have it, but the last year and a half I haven't been driving truck. So it looks like I'll have to go back to school in order to get a job. So I'm looking for a good school / job. Anyone have any input, looking in the Western States. Thanks for any info

    Most companies require 1 yr within the last 3, I thought.

    You have how much experience? And how much time away from trucking? Clean record?

    East-West Inc. (www.goeastwestinc.com) teams run coast to coast & solo drivers stay either in the western states or eastern states, depending on which coast they live on.
    You don't need school; just a company that hires drivers with a long gap in driving.
    Those listed above are some of the better ones, but I have more names if these don't work out.

    Also you tend to retain some of your skills. That rust should come off pretty clean.

    Be prepared to laugh at your future "Oh yea" *Bangs head moments. Im not even on the oad I justed audited my favorite roof section delivered by a gal that has a goodly number of nails in them.
