Refresher course companies

Jim Palmer does as well. They arent considering my local time but are using previous 5 plus year old OTR experience so have to run 20k team miles as the "refresher"

 

I applied to Jim Palmer and WIl-Trans, which are essentially the same company. Wil-Trans got back to me first and said that they haven't had a refresher program for over a year. He said the same applied to Jim Palmer. I didn't bother following up with Jim Palmer as I already had something lined up by then.

It may be down to the individual recruiter and whether they are interested enough in you.

 

Try them again on phone. She said classes every week

 

Swift as well I believe, Western Express and Swift are so hungry for drivers they will do just about anything to get you to hire on.

 

Swift called me half hour after i submitted online app specifically stating email contact.

Recruiter said 200 hours driving with trainer. Nothing about a contract or having to work a set time for them.

 

I had to do a refresher last year chose kllm still here company driver on a dedicated account

 

Hey buddy
Looking at kllm refresher..been pre approved, wondering what your thoughts on it are? Really NOT looking forward to training for 6 weeks!! I have a year otr, but been off the road a while. Thanks!

 

Freymiller has refresher. They hire drivers that have been off the road for 5 years, but sometimes go back much further.
Abilene Motor Express hired a guy that hasn't driven in 20 years.

 

I know Wil-Trans definitely won't take you if you already have a CDL and no recent/not much experience.
Prime said they offer refresher training, but they're unbelievably picky for a large (Idk about "mega") carrier with a high turnover in an industry with a proclaimed shortage of employees. But they do have some of the best starting pay, especially if you go into one of their smaller "Lightweight" trucks they use for certain division.
I don't know what their exact requisites are, but you also might check a local company here in Springfield called RBX. I know when I spoke with them recently, they said they'd do refresher training.
And lastly, there's a company out of St. Louis I was going to go with called LTI. They offer refresher, have an impressive amount of run types/areas, plus pay as well as Prime does (both have some of the best CPM I've seen for new/non experienced drivers), and have rider/pet policies.
