Man I really want to drive again too.. Worked for CRST and got screwed by them. Now I owe the student contract and no other company will touch me untill its paid.. I dont know what to do. I just need and want to drive!!!!

 

Shouldn't be a problem. i think all companies will you require you to go out with a trainer for at least a minimal time to refresh but you shouldn't have a problem finding employment. Good Luck

 

Good luck to you Bug Buster!!

 

hi Bug Buster
There are many companies that have refresher training. and some my just send you with a trainer for a short time. read some threads and call some company's thats what I did. good luck and I don't think you will have any trouble finding a good job.

 

I'm kind of in the same boat as you Bug Buster. I've been off the road since 2004 and haven't been OTR since '92-'93 (drove local LA dry vans for 11 years after a small stint OTR). I'm working myself back into the industry, but I have to get my CDL back (no troubles, just let it slip away thinking I had found another career). I'm preparing to go through either an 80 hour refresher or a full-blown course from SAGE through our local community college...depending on what the unemployment office wants me to do. Shooting for tankers this time around...I played the van mind game long enough I figure, lol.

Good luck in your endeavour mate!

 

Thanks and good luck to you! Yea, it sucks having let my CDL go when moving from state to state, but on the other hand, I know I'll need the practice school will give to get back into driving form.
