Thinking of Coming Back to OTR/LTL

You might even enjoy running the roads for a few months. Personally, I never tired of running long haul coast to coast.Got to see all the states and that gave me a chance to decide if I wanted to relocate from Tennessee, where would I like to go. Settled on Las Vegas and made the move. No regrets either; love the weather here. Right now at 9:30 in the morning it's 46 degrees and that means it's a blizzard here....lol. Sunny with clear sky and lots of palm trees and some with Christmas lights.

 

Schneider has a paid 3 day CDL refresher course. I looked at a general Connecticut zip code and it seems to be offered in your area. Check out their website for further info.

I get raked over the coals consistently on here for being pro-Schneider but they have been nothing but good to me. I enjoy my part time position with them. I personally had an 8 month gap prior to joining the organization and it was a non-issue.

 

Good afternoon. First Jim I apologize for stepping on your post but I'm in the same boat. Just joined this page this morning because life has a funny way of throwing curve balls. I drove truck for 10 years out west. 1985-1995.. Bought a business in 95' and have since built my company up and expanded it into a multi million dollar company. One day a buyer appears and boom, deal is made and company is being sold. I'm 55 years old. I'm to young to just sit around and I'm really thinking about getting back to what I really loved 23 years ago. Back in the day, I owned my own truck and did all my own work on it with the exception of motor work. Flat bed and End dump. Worked the west coast seen for those 10 years. Question is this, I would want to buy my own truck and run it here in the midwest and down south and so what problems do you see me running into? Have not been in a truck for over 20 years but I'll promise you, I think it will all come back to me very quickly. Thank you for your time guys, and Jim good luck to you in the future. Cliff
