where is it that you live in florida? I started with Pritchett Trucking in Jan. of 2008 after moving to Tallahassee, and have been with them a little over a year now. I work out of their Leon county Transfer station hauling trash, it's not the most glamorous gig in the world, but you can make a living at it if you try. They have some pretty good bonus programs for those drivers that put forth the effort, i made 2,000 in safety bonoses last year, and they also have a revenue bonus that pays out weekly. I like the company, it might not be for everyone, but if you gave us an idea of where it is in florida that you live, we might be able to offer a little more info.

Assuming you're referring to Davis Express, they're in Starke. All of the above seem to be running well; see 'em all the time.

Hey Guys! Looking at possibly signing on with Davis Express out of Starke.. Anyone know anything good or bad about the company.. I know all the basic's just trying to see if anyone has had driving experience with them. Heard they are a pretty good family owned company. Talked to their recruiter last week and Yes they are currently hiring OTR southeast regional drivers. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks

In the Winter Haven/Lakeland area... I think there is "ABCO", and then there is that outfit that seems to run mostly the SE that is located on FL 544 just to the west of the Wally-world distribution center. Knight also has a terminal on 92 over by Lake Bonnet. And of course you have Bynum, Indian River, and Oakley in that area as well..... Lets not forget all the "CCC" companies that are HQ'd in Auburndale....
