Heh all, I have been out of a truck working in the restoration business for 5 years, I want to get back in the trucking business but every company I apply to says you need 6-12 months in the last 3 years, what can I do to get past this, I have 20 years experience and as the old saying goes " I have drove backwards farther than these people have forwards", thanks for your replies.

Where do you live? might help. I have some I would recommend, but you need to be close to MN. Some of them have a 200 mile hiring radius. Brenny Transportation, Inc. . [Home] is one place to consider. Anderson Trucking out of St Cloud MN is another.

Hello all, I'm sorta in the same boat itchyratt,
I drove OTR from 1983 to 1990 I have been off the road awhile, I must admit, but my MVR is spotless, I don't smoke, 59 years young and I know how to take care of a rig I Live in Texas, DFW area, would like to run regionally, or locally, I had a gentleman offer me a position, but it was like jumping back in time with what he wanted to pay, I understand I have been off the road for awhile, but have to still make a living. So any Owner operators want an honest man that will do him a good job, Just need to shake some of the cobwebs off, I have tanker, and waiting on my security check to get back will have Hazmat, endorsements. I have pulled reefers, dry box, flatbed, you name it, I most likely hauled it.
