Jester's Bio

I've been off the road for a long time. I still think about returning.

I live on a small 40 with my wife and the horses. The children are mostly grown and we enjoy riding.

CDL A, Experienced but not recently. Can I get back in?

I've had a CDL since the early 90's. I have Tanker, Van, Flatbed and oversized experience. No license violations for 20 years. Here's the kicker, I haven't driven commercially in over 7 years. What draws me back a bit is seeing what some of the flatbed guys are offering. It looks pretty good. Is there a way back in without starting at ground zero? Do I buy my own truck and start there? Is that even an option?

Maybe this is all foolishness from an electrician already making 90k and pretty happy doing it.

It's just the dollars to be quite honest. They were never this good before and from all indicators they arent likely to slow down anytime soon.
