?Back Behind The Wheel?

Hello All,

I would like to get back behind the wheel again.What advice can you give me. I haven't driving for about 10 yrs and i'm sure I will need some coaching. Is it a must that I start all over again (school,6 weeks w/trainer,and low pay)? Or is there another route to take.

Should I try and find an o/o who will give me a little training and set me free? Any advice will help.

Starting Over

"10 years ... Is it a must that I start all over again (school, 6 weeks w/trainer, and low pay)?" Yup "Or is there another route to take." Nope, the carrier's insurer calls the tune. BOL [/b]

You might try calling Heartland Express. They advertise a refresher program for drivers who have been out of a truck for a while. I have no idea what the time limits might be for how long you can be away from driving but it is worth a try.
