    I'm still looking to go back into trucking, and I see around April or May of next year to go to refresher school. When is a good time to start trying to prehire with companies? Is now too early, or should I wait until after the new year and see what the hiring climate is right? I'd like to time things just so, if possible.:biggrin_2558:?

    wait till you start school, have a list of companies ready to start apply for...Most of the "Big" companies can prehire you within a day or two.

    I'd start looking now, theres 475,000 truck companies in the US, some good some bad, and theres a TON of info on them lol It might just take you till spring to find and decide on a company lol
