    On this subject ill always say look at May trucking. You would likely ride with a trainer for.a week or two. That's it. The norm seems to be if you haven't driven for 2 to 3 years you will have to go back with a trainer. Mays is bare minimum. I just wonder how many accidents you've had.

    Three. All parking lots. All under 5mph. I just need a trainer for how to maneuver the trailer RIGHT, this time. I could knock that out in one day of practice.

    But it sounds like you knocked several things out, by just not paying attention to your surroundings.

    Eyes front soldier does not work in trucking, especially in parking lots.

    I would give May a call..its worth a try..I worked there close to 5 years
    They will work with you and won't screw you over. Pay isn't the greatest but a good place to get the experience you need and might get you back on your trucking feet. Good luck!
