    It has already been 2 years, don't make a mistake with choosing. It is a long road if longevity is the plan.

    Find a smaller company on craigs list. You wont have a problem. All they usually want is a decent mvr and pass a drug test. How do I know? cause that's what I did.

    Some companies hire with a long gap in driving, so you shouldn't have any problems getting back on the road. Here's some to contact :

    Freymiller
    KKW Trucking
    Navajo Express
    Transport America
    James H. Clark & Son
    Jim Palmer Trucking
    Celadon
    Southern Refrigerated Transport

    You'll probably get 3 or 4 job offers off this list.
    Ignore what it says on the websites and apply.

    That sounds like those container companies pulling out of the ports.

    KCC Transport has a terminal in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Just thought I'd throw that in even though it's not relevant.

    I looked at their website. If it were me I would try those other companies first. KCC looks like more of a consolidation company where the good runs go out on rail.
