I posted a thread awhile back, asking for advice regarding my husband who has kept a CDL through the years, while not actively truck driving. Actually, he never really did OTR at all. He needed it when he was working for a feed/seed/fertilizer business, mostly spreading fertilizer, but doing a little local hauling here and there. Recently his job (not the fertilizer one, he left that one 15 years ago) was eliminated and he's been looking for a new career at age 65. We received some great feedback in that thread, which is greatly appreciated. He's had some other potential opportunities, outside of trucking, that he wanted to pursue and those have now fallen through. In the meantime he'd been in touch with Jones Brother's Trucking, a flatbed company, out of Missoula, MT (we live in MT) and after applying and talks over the phone, they invited him to go visit face to face. We did that today and he will be starting training/orientation with them, this coming Monday! They said the training could be anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, or even longer if he or they feel he needs it, all depending on how he picks up on everything. It sounds like they provide excellent training. They are very serious about it. I think for him, the actual driving and maneuvering etc. won't be the issue so much as the book stuff, which he'll find more tedious, but will get through.
We're excited! By the way, hope it's not weird that I'm the one posting here. He's just not the kind of guy to do it but he enjoys reading and hearing about what I read, the forums.
The Adventure Begins!
