    I just joined and won't post allot, but will check in from time to time. I started trucking in the mid 70s and have been involved in trucking up until 2000. I miss being on the road but my bad health is catching up to me and I had to call it quits. I have pulled 48' and 53' dry, refrigerated and flatbed trailers for various companies. I also ran doubles out in California for a line haul company, have taught truck driving to students for a community college and a private company. I was also a safety director for a couple of different companies. The best job I had was with Crete Carrier Corporation out of Lincoln, Nebraska, good people back then. Just wanted to say hi and I will answer any questions if I can.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    I have one. I am a trucker's wife and I'm reaching out because my husband is frankly just too tired to. He wants to do a dedicated route for a while and be home more so he can stop with the irregular sleeping patterns that are making him so tired.
    His problem is that he has a felony and his past experience was that he just kept applying until someone hired him. He's now been OTR for 18 months, he likes the work, but is ragged from the sleep issue.
    Do you or anyone else know of a company that will hire a felon? His is just 4 yrs old, has nothing to do with a crime or drugs, and is wanting to work around the Virginia area.
    Crossing my fingers,
    Thanks.
