I have prior experience but it has been since feb of 05 since I drove a Tractor trailer. I did go take a CDL refresher course at a local college so I have my CDL class A again. My question is since I'm considered a newbie again because of the gap, will Transport America hire me as a newbie with prior experience? Any responses would be helpful, thanks.
they may take you on. I recently got approved with them and I too have a large gap between driving times. It never hurts to give them a call
They might, they might not. I've got a three year gap, and TA needs me to have at least two months recent before they can take me. Not sure I'm gonna go, though. I think I'll enjoy flatbed enough to stay with it, rather than going back to van. Good company, though.
Yeah, I heard about that from Susan in recruiting. She also told me TA hasn't been taking new students for awhile. But hey, it's been so long since I drove for them that I did my orientation in Scottsburg, IN.
I left a few days after you responded to my very first post. Last day was 1/4/2011. I came home and thought I had 2 or 3 solid plans for employment outside of trucking and actually making good money.....they all fell thru! I called TA and they gave me the OK to come back if I want. I will answer them by Friday.
