    Went overseas for a year. Went back in truck. If a company wanted a refresher I would laugh and go else where. I since found a great new home to go to.

    I didn't see this thread at first, so I posted a list of companies on your other thread and they all will probably offer you a job.

    I had a year off and National Carriers took me. Had to do a 2 week refresher with a trainer since my backing got abit rusty but all good had my own truck after that. If you do well on their road test they’ll just give you a truck from the getgo.

    Does Green Products hire everywhere?
    I see they're out of Iowa and you're in Tennessee is why I'm asking.

    I would love to see that law.

    Stick to replying to things you actually know about.
