Before a fleet owner recommendation, what types of trucks and trucking experience do you have? Is your experience current or historical? Do you have a clean MVR?

12 years experience in expediting?

Todd has a class A with 12 years experience. Obviously, Todd means basketball, because he said he doesn’t have a teammate, Todd’s a total ball hog.

Todd there are a number of companies advertising on here, call them all up, see what fits for you. I drive for Fusion, and I find them to be a quality company. But find what fits for you.

Since you don't have recent experience (3 years is a lot) many companies might not want to deal with you. The best way is to call the companies and find out directly from them.

I think DOT regs are min. 3 yrs otr driving in the last 10 yrs for experience.

You could solve your problem by driving a straight truck. Typically, no recent experience required. If interested in a class 8 truck with sleeper, many fleet owners in EO classified section and carriers that are advertising here
