Hey guys,
Im trying to get back into driving, but haven’t drove in about 2 years. I have about 18 months of experience and stopped driving 08/2023. I have a mixture of experience (flatbed hauling steel/aluminum, food service, and LTL).
I have all my endorsements and a clean record. I’m looking for positions in southeastern Michigan, because I’ll be moving home to Detroit soon.
Any advice? Would I need a refresher course? Just looking for companies that would take me.

If you don't have any recent driving history, the company I work for requires that you go with a trainer for a few days, then you're good to go

Every company is different and the insurance requirements vary between OTR, regional, local, freight type etc. You need to look around and see what places are requiring what for each company you're interested in. We're in a depression so not many places are hiring right now. It may look like it because places have ads posted but reality they're not actually hiring.
