Being off work that long is going to be a major hurdle to overcome. Most companies take a dim view of extended unemployment periods. If you can pass a D.O.T. physical and have no lifting restrictions and can account for the past 6 years in some way or another, you may have a shot with some smaller outfit out there. But it's not going to be easy to find that company.

PS My DAC is coming forthwith, no DMV problems, can pass DOT again in February
I should have justified the fact that I passed DOT in Feb 2006. I jumped the gun (when I started my research into the industry)!! edited by bigdady 12:00 p.m. 1/18/2008 |
