    I went to school, obtained my A license, got on a truck with my now X s/o.
    Within two and a half months I had to get off the truck. All I will say is we were not meant to spend 24/7 together and leave it at that. It's been a year now and I'd like to get back on a truck. I loved the driving etc. Also loved the $.
    My question is will companies hire with the schooling I have or will they require a refresher? Those that except student drivers that is....
    I thought I'd ask here first before applying all over.

    I'm pretty sure you'll be faced with the 'refresher' deal - most require experience within a given timeframe.

    The hoops they make you jump through . . . .

    If you go work for a smaller 5-20 truck company, your refresher course might be only 1-4 weeks
