Michael, you will be a perfect candidate for a quick refresher...meaning some school on the present laws and requirements, a fresh DOT physical, and some time in a truck with a trainer, so shine up your rusty skills. Then it will be getting the keys for your truck and heading out on the road. So start applying, and wait a few days, then call the recruiters !!! You are what most of those trucking companies dream about getting in an employee...go out there and let em know your available !!!
And be sure and come back here and tell us how its going....AND it wouldn't hurt you to go thru High Road Training Program That will help bring you up to date on the current trucking stuff !!!
I have a similar situation, but vastly different to. I'm wanting to get back into trucking. I'm single now for 7 years actually, do no need to be home often.i drive otr, regional, and dedicated for almost 8 years and almost one Million miles. My career ended on 2003 .. almost 12 years ago. I rolled my truck when I parked on a soft shoulder on an entrance ramp, the from right end started going over and I could not stop it. I was in sleeper getting a bottle for a 2 minute emergency break....My company at that time after I was cleared medically let me go because of value of damage, so I decided to come of road and do manufacturing work which I hate. I live in another state have a clean mvr for my old state and 1 minor speeding ticket over 2 years ago in this state. I am thinking of just completely starting over like a green rookie, since they is no record of any serious violations ever and I've been doing the same work 11 years.does that seen reasonable, or am I required to reveal my past experience more than a decade ago?
