    Time to get back to work. Just cleared to go back after 2 years off due to injury. Had 2,500,000 accident free miles. Now I am treated like I have less than no experience. I think this is going to be tougher than I thought. I guess I have to look a lot harder. If anyone has any ideas, I sure would appreciate it! Thanks for the input and I'll try to post updates on this.

    Depends on where you live. If you're in the hiring area, Millis Transfer is an excellent choice. Cost is $500.00 for their training but you will make about $50K per year there. You definately will have to get some formal training due to the changes since you've been off the road.
     
    Pufstr Thanks this.

    I have thought about buying another truck, but I think that might be a mistake, what with the 12 months in the last 36 policy. Not very many companies care about the previous 30 years. I am just blowing off frustration now, but thanks for the info, I need all the help I can get.
