    I'm thinking about getting back into trucking. I don't have recent experience, so i know that is going to be problematic. Are there any good companies that run automatics?

    It can be too problematic....because (in part) you are too enigmatic with:
    • How much previous CDL experience you have
    • How clean your driving/criminal record is
    • How long ago was your most recent CDL experience (& what was it)
    • Where do you live (a zip code would work just fine)

    Most companies use automatics now. Won't be difficult to find a company with automatics and also hires drivers with a gap in driving.

    Do you still live in Illinois?
    Is OTR ok for you?

    Some old timers would call that a oxymoron

    Roehl Relaunch Program creates driving jobs
    Roehl Transport has announced a new program to add 300 truck driving jobs that will help CDL-A holders who stepped away from their commercial driving career for other non-driving employment. The Roehl Relaunch Program™ is open to former truck drivers who may have left trucking for positions in construction, manufacturing, retail and other industries as well as current drivers in local trucking jobs who may not be getting the income they need.
