    I have applied to every otr trucking company I thought I had any chance with, even the bottom of the barrel. Western Express said I wasn't in their hiring area. My Cdl is in WA state, address near Seattle.
    I started trucking in 2012, trained through Prime. I ended driving in February 2021, and have 6.5-7 years experience. I've hauled reefer, dry van and tanker.
    I can think of 4 reasons I'm not being hired:
    1. The area my cdl is in.
    2. I got into an accident before I left in February 2021. It wasn't serious. I wasn't even cited. The lady might have claimed she was injured as an insurance scam. Info I got from insurance investigator.
    3. Spotty employment record. If I can get back into trucking, I'll stay employed. Learned my lesson on this one.
    4. Maybe companies are pickier currently.

    I already have another post on this forum, where guys were trying to help me, but no luck.

    So, I thought I'd post here. Maybe someone who needs a driver is interested. I would just need to get a new med card.
    Ok, I've plead my case.

    Forgot to say, I have only one ticket. A warning for forgetting to turn on marker lights. And only one real accident. The one right before I left.

    Perhaps you can apply to TransAm Trucking out of Olathe KS.

    The market is indeed different. You left at a time where there were more loads than trucks with rates at all-time highs and are attempting to return at a time when there are more trucks than loads available and rates are at all-time lows (adjusted for inflation).
