Anyone know if there are any companies around that would do that here in FL?
Thanks!

Tim, the good news is that Punta Gorda is a nice place to live.... its my home also, at least most of the time...
The bad news is that the job market "sucks". About the only "trucking jobs" around there are either "sheisters" or concrete trucks. The closest ltl's are in Fort Myers, or up in Sarasota/Bradenton area.
Averitt has a terminal in Fort Myers....and occasionally advertises, but I can't remember the "experience level required".
Beyond that....there is a roofing supply place thats always looking for drivers...lots of unloading, and then there are a couple of propane outfits who want drivers.... pay? :x :x :evil:
Thats why I do "OTR".
