40 years of exper driver - off for last 2 years -- needs driving job

My first steps would be to get a medical card.
Then I would find a community College or like that has certified refresher training.
And go from there.
Good luck.

 

Find a local job instead of otr.

Probably going to want a certified refresher endorsement as well.
No big deal, really. Just jump in the truck and drive around the block.

Company Driver – Drive Freymiller

• Restore Program -
  On the Road Experience

Our Restore Program aims to get drivers up to speed after an extended break from driving. When a driver has been out of the driver’s seat or off the road (or local) for more than 3 years, Freymiller puts the driver out with a trainer. The trainee can expect to do a majority of the work, while being overseen by the trainer. This ensures they get the most opportunity to sharpen their skills, and get back on the road as quickly as possible. Refreshers stay out up to 4 weeks.
