I pulled back from starting a trucking career back in June, after getting my CDL-A in late January. What I really wanted to do didn’t pan out. I didn’t think I could adjust to the reefer lifestyle, and I’m not financially independent enough to work for Western Express.
At what age will a CDL-A be too stale to train? In other words, you have to go back to CDL school.
Too stale to train

Most will require a 'refresher'.
Go back to where you got your CDL and ask what it would cost to recertify you.
Probably in the $200 rangeBackwoodsGA and buddyd157 Thank this. -

I’m done with physical labor (carpentry), so trucking might be in my future, or holding a clipboard and making phone calls from inside my truck (superintendent).650cat425 Thanks this. -

I got into trucking with a CDL A that was 16 years stale. I was hired by an OTR company in 2016 with a CDL I acquired in 1995. I drove class B trucks locally from 1996 to 2000 and then nothing until 2016.
I rode with trainers for 5 weeks before getting my own truck. No school refresher needed.Sirscrapntruckalot, BackwoodsGA, rachi and 1 other person Thank this. -
