    Seems low and a lot of miles. Can't find a good percentage gig that you don't have to kill yourself with?

    No health, tarp pay $50 Detention $50/hr after 2hr

    I would love %, but with no OTR experience and out of the game for several years I'm thinking I need to take what I can get right now.....

    You may be right Demo, you might have to suck it up a little bit to get that "recent" experience. Thing is, I know you can drive a truck, 19 years doing something you dont just forget how to do it. I would try some very small local gigs that have good pay and require experience, if you can get a road test you have a good chance.

    I got my CDL when I was 18, I was so young I had to wait till I was 21 to be able to drive out of state. I have hauled some massive loads on low-boys, 35,55, & 65 ton Talberts. I have a clean DL & a TWIC card, But with no recent OTR experience I was less valuable than a student right out of school. It boggles my mind....

    Nothing against students, someone gave me a chance a long time ago or I wouldn't be here....
