Profile For Daniel T.

I am I am trying to get back on the road after being off for about 10 years. I still have my Class A CDL and recently took a driver refresher course. I am trying to go back as an owner/operator, I have 15 years of experience as an o/o. I am considering Super Service Transportation, does anyone know anything about them? Or does anyone know what company is good to hire on as o/o without having to go out with a trainer for weeks and then being a company driver for weeks or months after begfore going into my own truck?

Thank you for your response, that is what I am finding out that a lot of things have changed. Like so many other things, it doesn't make sense. I will probably have to go out with someone that has less experience then I do in order to tell me if I am qualified.

Daniel, a lot has changed since you were in a truck. This is a common hurdle that everyone will face, even if you had only been out of the truck for eight or nine months. This is basically an insurance company requirement. You could contact a truck driving school and take a refresher course, or some trucking companies will offer them. But what you have encountered is the normal way that one gets back into truck driving after an absence from the scene now a days.

I have 20 years of experience as an Owner/Operator and still hold a clean Class A CDL but because I haven't been in truck since 2008 I can't get hired by any companies until I complete a driver refresher course and then drive with a company trainer for anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks. Ha sanyone else had this experience?
