Returning after 6 yrs, cmpnys don't require school?

Most employers require "x" amount of driving time in the last 3 years. Insurance purposes.

 

Continuous driving time. Like "2 years in the last 3".

 

Some of the megas will allow 9 - 12 months in the last 3 years.

 

I wonder if the insurance company requires the driver go back to school or only that the carrier makes sure the driver is properly retrained per the carriers training program. Remember all new school grads have to go through the training program and they have zero experience in class A vehicles. In every case it is apparent that all carriers must have an insurance company approved training program.

 

Some companies bend their own hiring rules. I think it depends on how good the applicant looks on paper.
I'd also apply with Freymiller and Abilene Motor Express. May Trucking also bends their own rules and seems to be an ok company.
Submit a few more apps.

 

Saw an advertisement for Prime that read something like haven't driven in a few years, ask about our refresher course.
So you could ask them about their refresher course. Prime is known for longgggg training periods though. Probably not gonna be any quicker honestly.

 

You will be evaluated during the entire orientation. If you need retrained you will be.

 

The megas are all self insured.
As soon as they see you can drive,you'll have your own truck.
