    You might check with First Fleet FirstFleet, Inc. – Dedicated Carrier Service
    I know they take previous CDL drivers but I am not sure what the time frame is. They run mostly dry van and refers.
    Because of your lapse in time, you'll have to ride/drive with a trainer for a week or two.

    Good luck.......

    I worked there years ago. Did a lot of West Coast runs out of Tennessee.

    To the OP; don't rule out any company right now and something will hit.
    Beware of any unsolicited Private Messages pushing certain companies. That's a red flag that something is amiss. Why would a person want to keep a good company information private instead of sharing that information with the others.
    Private messages serve a good purpose and we've all probably used them at time, but as with most things, can be abused.

    They sent me an email, and it appears that I missed her call when I was speaking with my dentist on the phone.

    However, I called back around five times, but nobody answered.

    and left two voicemails.
    what else can I do
     
    Walk Among Us Thanks this.

    You strike me as someone who goes and gets a job even if you could have every possible excuse why no company is good enough. I admire that.

    You have your med card and current CDL? Or you are starting over from scratch?
