In the eyes of insurance companies you are basically a new driver. You’re probably past the point of only doing a refresher since you’ve been out 6 years.

I dropped my CDL 8 years ago when I came off the road, I'm restarting with Schneider next month to get it back. Only a 9 month contract after training so if it isn't a good fit it won't be long before I can jump ship. It's an option, according to the recruiter I spoke with, they have training at Green Bay, Indianapolis, Charlotte NC and Wilmer TX. Pay scale isn't great, but it's not bad either.bryan21384 and insipidtoast Thank this.

Schneider will count all your experience from the previous 10 years last time I checked. They are not going to be helpful with any of your other long list of demands. But they got trucks and freight. Just go do it for 3 months and then all of sudden all the other companies will magically recognize your previous experience too.
chocotaco313, Eddiec and insipidtoast Thank this. -
I guess I could ease up on the no HM endorsement parameter. Just not interested in HM tanker specifically. Not sure I remember how to get the HM endorsement. I let it expire, so I assume that means the whole nine yards: knowledge test at DMV, TSA background check/fingerprinting, etc.
