Not sure if you care to go OTR,but try Conway Truckload.
They will hire drivers from the florida area.With little exp.
Good Luck.. |

| Have you checked out Armellini or Honey? Cypress should be a non-starter. BOL |

| Hey Bull, i've talked to you in the past i believe, i know it can be tough getting work in florida, especially with no OTR experience. For the last 6 months I've been with Pritchett Trucking out of Lake Butler, Fl, when i first started i was pretty frustrated, but i've acclimated to it pretty well, i live in norht florida, tallahassee to be exact, and i haul dedicated trash runs, i average 750 weekly gross, and i'm home nightly. I know they have regional trucks with weekly hometime, which might be something up your ally down there in south florida, i'm not going to sugar coat the job, i put in long hours, which equal long weeks, but they have pretty good bonus programs, which include weekly bonuses, and quarterly safety bonuses, and a 1000 dollar sign on bonus paid out within your first six months. Check out www.pritchetttrucking.com for more info, it's kind of vague, if you do have any questions feel free to PM me, i just can't guarantee when i'll get back to you. You can always get their number off the website, and ask for Roy, he's their HR guy. All in all pretty good company, just don't expect the world, this is truckdriving :D |

Forget Con-Way Truckload....that was CFI...and that is 48 & Canada OTR.
The only companies that will fit your need....if they are hiring is one of the Com-Car companies. They may have something you can use. Commercial Carriers out of Auburndale..... http://www.driveccc.com/
With the bottoming out of the construction market...I doubt if even the cement truck companies are hiring.... very few dirt buckets rolling around even in SW FL.... I live in that area as well. |

This company runs alot of freight in the SE and in Florida.They pull 53's and containers out of Jax,Tampa and Miami. Their main office is in North Carolina and have a terminal in Daytona Beach west of I95 on Hwy 92 (intl speeway blvd). http://www.salemcarriers.com/jobapp.htm
They get the drivers home on weekends by the looks of the terminal on Sundays and run older freightliners. |
