Dear Trucking Forum members:
I have a current CDL with all endorsements and no hazmat yet. I have no tickets or accidents and the last verifiable time I drove CDL was for a concrete company in their mixer trucks and pup and dump gravel from their mines. ( It was a seasonal concrete position so I took on different work.) For IBEW / I worked off road delivering dozers and offroad vehicles on wind farm sites; in 2005 I drove chip truck hauling hog fuel from PDX to Albany. I don't have any recent experience but would like to get back in the game.
I'm currently working in Sales and Marketing in the Puget Sound Region and would like to stay in this region, possibly in LTL sales or trucking.
How could I reach this goal of getting back into the trucking game either in support positions of sales or driving? All jobs require "Recent Like Driving Experience" - How should I go about gaining this experience, look for part time, nights, weekends?
Does anyone have any advice? Feel free to call me if you like: 971-255-3901
