Profile For Mike L.

I've had my class A CDL with Hazmat for about 15 years. I spent about a year OTR in 2002 and then got a job teaching high school math. For the next 8 years I spent my summers driving OTR to make extra income. Since 2010 I've made a few trips for a friend that owns his own truck and wanted to keep his truck on the road while he spent time with his family on vacation or whatever. My friend has leased on to Landstar and is no longer able to let me fill in for him when he wants a break from the road.

My question is, would carriers like Big G Express, Averitt, etc be interested in somebody like me who wants to fill in for somebody when he is able. I work a job where I'm off for 8 days every 5 weeks and would like to make trips during that time. There are also a couple of other times when I could make short trips during that 5 weeks. I don't think it's enough to just keep my CDL up to date. I would like to keep my driving skills semi sharp because you never know when you might need them for the long term.

Also if you have contacts with O/O who would be interested in somebody like me or know of a forum other than this one where I could put the word out let me know.
