I have a friend who has been out of the trucking ind for over 20 years.And he wants to get back into trucking.

Know one will hire him because it so long since he driven otr.He has Class A CDL with tanker doubles and triples.

Some companies will but not too many usually. Maybe he could take a refresher course. Are there any companies around that offer them? I always recommend filing our applications in person. This way you could talk with someone in person and explain the situation better. Maybe then you could get them too let him take a road test and show them he can still do it. Best of luck.
