Insurance companies are driving the refresher business. It doesn't matter if you had 20 yrs of driving and then took 3 or more yrs off you'll be doing a refresher to get back into trucking.
-
After all you've gone through, don't give up now.
It gets in your blood-can't deny that.
Even if you have to redo the course, or training...
you'll probably regret it if you throw it all away now.
You've already made some milestones, so get back on that pony & ride!
There's a place / company out there for you. -

If you decide to "get out of the saddle you will never ride that horse"....you wanted to go to school and you got it so why not use it? If you back out now I really believe you will regret it...so buckle down and go for it...

If you can drive the Sisters or Cabbage during the winter, you can drive anywhere in any weather conditions.
Besides, you say you are scared of heights? Even on the highest pass, you are never more than 6 feet above the ground. Think about it... -
whats the sister and cabbage thing? I live on the Washingtion idaho border twenty minutes from three passes and lots of snow and its not that bad.I havent drivin it in a 18 wheeler, but I have my car and a big izzizu truck.

I agree with roadkill....its totally different in a "BIG RIG PULLING A 53' TRAILER"....I am sorry to burst your bubble but a four wheeler is nothing compared to a tractor-trailer....it not even in the same league.....
-
If you want to get back to driving, then go for the refresher and get riding again! And odn't listen to any bull-#### anyone tried to scare you with; stay calm and enjoy the ride (and scenery). I will never forget that ride, because it is just plain beautiful! -
I didn't know there was a "sisters" in OR. I always thought that was the stretch of I 80 just east of Evanston WY. They can be "fun" too.
