Time ain't on my side.....

I worked for a local trucking company for 6 years.(they went out of business,450 drivers out of work) Drove straights,straight tandem axle and tractors-pulling vans. Now, with no OTR experience I've got to join a training program(have class A with doubles,triples,tanker,HAZMAT and TWIC card) I am looking to get with a flatbed company or tanker company? Naturally every recruiter is going to lie through their teeth and promise the world. That's why I'm here.....I've always respected experience more than B.S. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Maybe I shudda mentioned that I worked on the East coast....little detail....I seemed to forget.......as I mentioned my company closed 1/4/2009, first they told me I've been outta work for too long,and then they said with no OTR I would need training......but I agree with you....a couple of weeks(not 6 or 8) with a veteran would give me an understanding of what is expected day to day
