So far as Superior and Carry are concerned... Whether or not you can get a position with either of them...without the required posted experience... is a decision to be made by the local Terminal Manager. They have some hiring "latitude" as to hiring a new driver and putting them through a training program. You would have to call the local terminal manager and then go and meet with them if they have an opening.

I have seen trucks running around I-75 and was wondering, does anyone know anything about Indian River or Florida Rock and Tank lines?

Indian River is food grade, and I do believe they require two years of experience. That may have changed....so I'm not sure. When I spoke to them a few years ago... I wasn't impressed with their pay, hometime, or their overpriced health insurance. FL Rock and Tank.... pulled fuel for them some years ago on a local gig....not good. But that was over ten years ago. Maybe things have changed. They required at least a year or two of experience and hazmat as well.
If you are in the Jax area...I believe CTL has a terminal there. Worked for them a long time ago....and they were ok....but the pay could use some improvements. They are what you might consider a "training company"....a place to get experience then find a real job.
