LOL! Your 20, franwake13, would be the location at which you reside, or are presently at.

Sealord used to much "Radio" lingo on you there! 20. 10-20. Radio lingo for "Location".

7 mos and you want a dedicated lane? That don't leave much to work with right now. At least get 2 years before you get picky. I know Indian River Transport has a lot of CA to FL stuff but you have to at least have a year to get on with them. I would try Knight Transportation they seemed to have a lot of freight going to the southeast when I was there, a lot of reefer companies run Cali to back East. Try Marten, KLLM, Central Refrigerated, Southern Refrigerated, Florilli, Prime. All you can do is start calling companies and start asking. USA Truck, Roehl, Werner, Millis, Covenant, Schneider, Gordon, Watkins Shepard, Celadon, Crete, etc.

As far as I know, East West is still in business running from SE to CA and back, they want like 2 years, but they may hire someone with less. Low .30s (cpm) to start, but you can get great miles with them..I think this is an application for them.
