    Hello,

    Any thoughts will help thanks...

    I drove for Wener back in 2001 for a year on the Walmart account out of Tomah, WI. Left there for a job back home. Then been working in the oil field past three years fracing. I moved equipment, drove tractor trailers all over. Only to the oil wells and to the shop.

    Do you think, I need a refresher course? Could I use my fracing?

    Thanks :)

    Exactly wht type truck job are you looking for?
    Are you still living in WI..?
    Some small 4 or 5 truck outfits might hire you with no refresher.
    The larger companies with benefits, retirement plan, etc. might hire you and put you through their refresher program. List on the applications that you've been doing local/regional work.

    Werner doesn't have that account anymore, Marten does. I believe we still have slots open, so if you want to give them a call, and ask. Make pretty good buck.

    Sorry, driving to oil wells and the shop won't cut it for experience. Count on a refresher course.

    Some schools will reduce your time refreshing based on skill. Like an entry exam. Over!
