Class A for 8 years but havent driven for 4 years
Howdy all. I got my class A from Central tech in Drumwright, OK. (an Excellent school BTW) I then drove for Passmore and Sons (flatbed) for a year and a half. When he sold to Prime, I moved over to driving a tanker hauling crude oil out of the fields in Texas. I got hurt(at home) and had to drive a desk job for 4 years now. I decided I was ready to go back out on the road. I went to Lawton, Ok and took a 40 hr refresher that I paid for myself.($650) Problem is, I have gotten nowhere getting a job. Every company I have applied to says I have been off the road to long/ they don't accept refresher courses, etc. The only exception was glass hauling out of wichita falls, tx and I don't think my shoulder is up to what I have read about breaking down the equipment.
Now, I am 56 years old and started driving farm equipment when I was 14. I have NEVER in my life gotten a moving violation(3 parking tickets as a kid don't count do they?)!
I have 20 years in the US Air Force, 6 of them as quality assurance/safety inspector on Jet Engines/aircraft and 13 of them driving in Japan, Philippines, and various europeon contries so I know my way around a vehicle. I live in western oklahoma and am looking for a regional or dedicated in my area. Af anyone knows someone and could help me I would appreciate it.
I will try to check back here evry day, Thank you all
