Hi everyone,
This is a follow up to my other thread. I am on the verge of getting my state to pay for my CDL Class A tractor trailer license. I'm excited and aprehensive about it at the same time. I'm making this move, because I love driving, and I am not able to get a job in my field yet. As I stated in my other thread, I'm an older worker.
Being that I really should get training by a trucking company after I get trained by the school, I am wondering about this: what if I get my trucking job after the training and stay with it for six months to a year. After that, if I can find a job in my plan a field I will do that. At least I will have the trucking job to fall back on. Is this a fallacy on my part? If I am out of the trucking driving field for a while and want to get back in, that means I will have to be trained all over again?
What if I drive for 6 months to a year and go back to my other career?

Yes, most companies require recent experience, otherwise they retrain.
iamtrying Thanks this. -
Most insurance companies require recent experience but many large fleets are self insured and have what they call a 'refresher' course for guys that haven't driven in a while.
-
Do you have any idea how much those refresher courses are on average?

Due to scheduling issues, I have to postpone the training.
