I probably put this in the wrong forum so if anyone notices this please let me know. I am 45 years old and have been around heavy trucks all my life with my family in the earthmoving and heavy hauling rigging and house moving.
I decided at age 27 to become a Professional Land Surveyor and got my licence in NC &SC (and away from the trucking and heavy equipment) but have continued to be around the trucks and heavy equipment by doing the construction staking. Back in 2008 my major client I had been doing construction staking for let me use their MackCH613 and Talbert 50 ton lowboy to use as a road test to get my CDL with HAZMAT and Tanker endorsement. Back in the late 80's before I started land surveying I drove dumps and lowboys.
Now with the economy on a downswing my land surveying business has become no fun to operate any more and I would like to get back into trucking. But with no over the road experience no body wants me. I help a small trucking company part time plowing snow during the winter and hauling prestressed bridge beams (sometimes 60'+ on styrecth trailers). Back in the 80's I hauled oversize underground fuel tanks we would dig out and houses, for my families company of which all have passed away.
I would like to start by being a company driver (possibly oversize overweight) for someone and later be an owner operator.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH COMPANIES THAT MAY HIRE A PERSON WIOTH MY EXPERIENCE?
