    Hey question I'm suppose to start at interstate soon and I've been out of the truck 2 years now.. I am suppose to start at the Dallas terminal and I know for a fact my shifting and backing rusty since I only have 8 months experience to begin with.. And I know the recruiter knows this since she ran all my info. How doing only a 2 or 3 day orientation you suppose to pick up shifting and backing again.

    I think that you will do just fine. I was out of the truck for 2 1/2 years. I went back into trucking and went thru
    a 3 day orientation . At the end of the 3rd day I was given my first load and down the road I went. I was
    a little rusty on my first 2 backing into the docks. After that it was if I had never left trucking. If you don't
    feel comfortable after the 3 days orientation just let the company know and I am sure they will work with you.
    Good luck.
