What is it like now ?

Yes it does. It means you will not know how to log....

 

My last time was 1985 so it has been 25 years since I have been behind the wheel. I decided I was not going to pay thousands of dollars to some school to teach me something I already knew and had done for almost 6 years so I went rented the truck and trailer took the cdl test. Now I have my cdl but no one would hire me because no recent exp and did not go to truck driving school. Not being one to give up without a fight I took advice from some of the good people who post here and found me an owner operator to work for. Been driving for him a couple of months now and am very happy with how it is going. When we first talked he said he did not care how long it had been since I last drove, he said it was like riding a bike you don't forget ( and he was right ). Just an option you might want to think about, no orientation no trainer no employee hand book with 10,000 rules, just climb in the cab and go to work. As the saying goes there is always more than one way to get something done, Good luck and be safe

Not much different except more regulations, and new Hours of Service that you'll need to learn. However you'll be considered an inexperienced driver and most companies won't hire you cause you have been out of the truck for more than a yr or 2. The ones that will are the smaller ones..

 

PA has been under construction since the beginning of time and will continue to be till the end of time.

 

You got that right!

 

lol

 

I took a couple years break from driving and found no place wanted to hire me because of that.
I found a driver leasing service,like a temp service for drivers and did a year with them.It was 90% local work and a little OTR...
It got my one year of recent experience back on the books..
