Some things change while somethings never do

Gonna need more information. Is you CDL still current?

 

If you still have your cdl, Western Express will hire you. Go there to get some recent experience, then buy a truck later.
Flatbeds & dry vans; take your pick.

NO RECENT EXPERIENCE? NO PROBLEM.
We’ve pioneered the industry’s first “REFRESHER” program for drivers with NO RECENT EXPERIENCE, including drivers who have a CDL but didn’t attend truck driving school. Most trucking companies require you have recent driving experience regardless of how much driving history you have. If you don’t, they make you go back to school, which costs you time and money. But at Western Express, we recognize your past driving experience, or your past CDL A school training, and provide you the on-the-job PAID TRAINING you need to get on the road fast.

 

Yeah, and where is his location?

 

My father drove for Talmadge for years back when he had his trucks leased to Mercury out of Emporia Virginia. Several friends of mine still drive for his son's dump truck business.

 

When you get the cdl again; probably can be hired with Western Express or Abilene Motor Express.

 

Last time I saw a Mercury tractor-trailer was back in the 70's in Florida.

 

Get your cdl go on indeed/ all the ltl companies websites apply for all of them in your area if none hire you maybe fuel hauling or walmart
