An Idea

Have you gotten a recent copy of your DMV record and a DAC (USIS) report? A DAC can be rebutted, at least when a potential hiring company gets it they'll also have you side of the story. I think info stays in DAC for ten years. I'm guessing at a minimum, you'll have to cycle back thru a school for at least a CDL refresher. BOL

Why don't you give my company a call. www.kreilkamp.com. They may make you sign a year contract and make you go through paid training but its better than nothing. We have a hub in Edison NJ, I'm sure they would consider you!

Want to get back into trucking
Thanks Shanhamm, I've contacted Kreilkamp, and I also have to stop by a local (Buffalo,NY) outfit that hauls railroad containers into Canada, have an interview on Monday.....
For the record, to those who know everything about trucking. I know I'm still a rookie, but I'm not stupid and am quite aware of what's going on when I'm behind the wheel. It was a load of recycled plastic bales, stacked 2 high, 2 wide, and for good measure 1 was put on top with no load support. I was not allowed into the loading area, the trailer was sealed when I pulled it out. The DOT cop and 2 witnesses, have all stated speed was not a factor. And the DOT cop said it was an unsupported load. I was going approx 7-10 miles per hour turning onto the I190 in Buffalo. It was an autoshift Freightliner.
