    Hi, I'm Peter V. and live in Leominster, MA. I've had a class A CDL with all endorsements (except passenger) since 9/06. I'm a career-changer, having been in IT for 18 years.

    I have only 3 months experience driving class A back in 2007. (Had to quit to take care of a terminally ill parent.) Now that the economy has gone in the dumper, I can't find any jobs in Massachusetts that will hire someone with so little experience. I do have about 13 months of class B tanker experience. If anyone has any ideas on where I might look, or what I might be able to try to "get back in the drivers seat", I'd be extremely grateful.
