Wanting to un-retire

As far as what company to choose i cant help. But you wont have any problems at all getting on at age 66 as long as you pass the physical.

 

The majority of companies require either recent verifiable experience or a refresher and possibly even riding with a trainer. There are some small mom and pops that would *maybe* overlook a refresher if possible...you'll have to nose around and do some shopping/homework. Find a carrier you're interested in and go put an app in. With your experience in trucking you pretty much already know what needs to be done I'm sure. Good luck to you.

 

You're gonna do just fine. This industry is in desperate need of good, experienced drivers. What your looking for in a company, is not hard to find at all. Best of luck and see ya on the highway!

 

Dartco Inc. or Dartco Express?

 

As part of the Dart Express fleet, you will:
■Drive a daycab tractor
■Operate 5-6 days a week
■Get home daily
■Excellent pay and benefits

 

Check some local outfits. A few good ones still exist.

Big G Express, out of Shelbyville TN, will hire you once you get your CDL back. They're not real picky about "recent" experience. They will count your 44 years as experience. My wife and I both worked there for years and they are a great outfit. Home every weekend, new KWs (no autos), APUs with 1800w inverters, 99% east of the Mississippi (you will go to PA and NJ a lot though, but no NYC).

 

Get with an ltl company. Most have 5 days out runs
