I've done that in my younger days, but always put the keys in my pocket or in the ashtray in case the police started banging on my car door.

Did you ever get back into trucking? Curious how that charge affected your ability to work as a driver

Hello! I've got a...situation....in which I'm looking for some direction. Here's the rundown: in 2017, I had been driving for 2 years and I got a Physical Control (not even considered a moving violation and gives no points on your license.....basically "having control" of a vehicle while being intoxicated) here in Ohio because I didn't want to drive drunk and decided to sleep in the back seat of my pickup truck. Well, I guess Ohio doesn't think that's such a good idea and I got charged with a crime. I went to court and the best my lawyer could do for me was a 1 year CDL suspension (not domestic drivers license, just the CDL endorsement) and a fine. So, for 1 year I took a job as an HVAC tech and have been doing that ever since. Well, needless to say, I'm not satisfied with this job and I'd like to get back into trucking.

So, I have to go back and retest (both written and driving.....THANK YOU Ohio laws) to get my CDL back. I'm not worried about reading up to pass the written/equipment check tests but due to the amount of time that has passed, I'm not sure how well my maneuvering is gonna be. I'd like to get a bit of practice before going to the test site but I don't know anybody with a truck that I can borrow. Do you guys know of any way I can brush up on my skills before jumping back into the seat? I don't wanna pay for a full training course (but perhaps a 1 or 3 day?) or go with a Mega-trainer and be on contract for a year, but I would be willing to pony up a reasonable amount of cash.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
