Hello to everyone

Thought I would stop in and say hello to everyone. I am new to the forum found it the other day while searching company possibilities. I have 2 years OTR and almost a year flat bed experience with a local company. I havent been in a truck in almost 3 years (due to a pre-exisiting back injury that resulted in surgery) which is apparently going to be a problem in trying to get back on the road. I have already found some great information and had quite a few laughs reading over the forum.

 

Thanks Smurf, As for my back all is well know, I had a pretty bad crash in a race car that caused some damage to a disc in my lumbar which resulted in surgery (I just put it off as long as I could) nothing work related. I don't think i would have any problems getting back in a truck due to the fact that I have been working locally as a paramedic for that past 2 1/2 years (the heaqviest tarps in the world cant hold a light to some of the 400lb + people we pick up on a stretcher)and I am just ready to get back on the road(crazy i know right). Anyways thanks to everyone for the welcome and look forward to talking with all of you. I am always looking to learn something.

 

Well I hope I don't have too much trouble...so far I have been searching for a company to go with or I should say to try to go with. I do have a wife and little girl so the hometime will be somewhat considered, but my wife knows how happy I was when on the road and is very supportive. I have also noticed since I left the industry alot and I do mean ALOT of stuff has changed. Alot of companies have been bought out or merged, alot of regs have changed (no surpirse there), and it seems alot more companies are going to E logs. Oh well I do have a stable job right now, so I will do a lot of research before I jump and run into anything. I am open to suggestions from anyone on companies that may consider me for employeement. I am also open to any info from anyone in a similar situation as myself on their experiences with companies etc.. Thanks again.
