Driver wanting to get back into the groove

I drove OTR for 17 yrs...been off the road for 3 yrs, but miss driving them big trucks. Was told I would have to start all over again with the process. But, I am definitely NOT a trainee.

Probably could teach some, or even most, of the trainers out there a thing or two! I want to work for an owner operator (no auto transmissions!), or a small family owned operation that would be willing to give an ol truck driver a chance to prove his worth!
