    How much time away from the industry can you take before companies will make you take a refresher course to get a new job?

    I got hired by swift being 1.5 yrs out of a truck without a refresher. This was back in 2012.
    Now I been 2.5 yrs away from a truck again. So will be trying again as soon as I get my medical card renewed
