Got a CDL 3yrs or so ago when trucking was estimating a shortage of drivers by the year of 2010 to be in the range of a quarter of a million..Does this number sound too high?? any how it was a large number but who can estimate the things that are?? Only politicians can arrange how they are and I guess they screwed up again!!To the point, I have a CDL and all the endorsements w/it yea rah !!##%%. What good is it? Does werner expect one to be a recent graduate from school??Does Swift require you to be a recent graduate form school?? Do both require a road test.. Have not been in a truck in a while must do a brush up I guess, but who requires what?? THNX
I think you will find any large company will want you to have been in a truck recently. If not back to class and time with trainer. You might find a local company however as long as you have been out of the seat it could be a challenge.
im no expert but i think the trucker shortage is something that cdl mills and deisel tech trade schools made up to get more students
Not trying to be a smart aleck or anything but, I would think that the best way to find out what you want to know is to call some companies and talk to the recruiters. Just sayin' ............. Jim
