    There are expediting fleet owners in your area that would hire you to drive a straight truck . The pay can be better than driving a semi . You don't worry about delays loading and unloading , restacking pallets , or any of that . Check with Panther or FedEx Custom Critical

    I went to school and started driving in 97, I drove for a year and then went back to factory work for 3 years. When I decided to come back I made a few calls and nobody would touch me due to the lapse in driving. My break came in the form of beer, so I drove a beer truck for 6 months and moved on. The options are there if you look hard enough, good luck
