Considering Coming Back to Trucking
Thanks Errol, I'm just starting to do research right now, since this will be a pretty big decision to make, not only for me but for my family as well. Obviously, I won't need to get my CDL again but I may need to go for a refresher since its been so long since I last drove OTR. I'm also looking for advice on selecting a company, and any other advice other drivers on here may want to offer.

By Military friendly I mean companies who look to hire veterans, and possibly have VA approved apprenticeship programs in place

Considering Coming Back to Trucking
Evening All, About 16 years ago I started driving OTR for Schneider, I chose to leave after only 3 months because at that point in my life I felt it was best for me to go back to school. Now though I have a steady job, which I enjoy, but it is getting harder to make ends meet as I make less than $25k a year. With that being said I am considering the possibility of returning to the trucking industry. I still hold my Class-A CDL with Tank and Double Triple endorsements and am going to re-add the hazmat endorsement to my CDL soon. I also because of FL law have a current dot medical card. On another note I am also a military veteran after having served 7 years in the USCG. I am looking for a military friendly company, and for some advice from other drivers out there to help my decision. Sorry for the long winded post and thanks in advance for the help and advice.
Mike
