Well, Arnold is in Jacksonville. I believe that Arnold is a HAZMAT company, though.

Perhaps, have you thought about working for SYSCO?

1. Where exactly are you in SW FL??

2. What are your $$ expectations??

3. Are you focusing on Class A OTR??

4. Or are you just being really picky??

5. Have you gone to this website and looked for a job? http://www.ajb.dni.us Its a portal site to listings of all jobs registered with all 50 states to include FL and searchable by either city or zip code.

http://www.jobsearch.org/seeker/jobs...rch_pageLink=1

The link above was a search I did for SW FL, using zipcode 33955 which is South Punta Gorda/ Cape Coral....and got back 5 pages of jobs. Not all were driving jobs, but were transportation and material handling related but there were alot of driving jobs listed in the 5 pages of jobs listed.

Just keep looking. Watch the ads in the papers. Put your name in everyone's hat. Something will come up.

Stay the heck away from Cypress unless you've got years of flatbed experience already! They hire school graduates, but you will not get a decent, safe truck to drive, and you'll perform weeks of cheap labor in their "training" regimen. Safety is a huge issue with that company.
