Walpole in Tampa, Schwend in Dade City, CCC out of Auburndale, they also operate CTL our of Mulberry. Those are your major carriers out of Florida that run regional, OTR type positions, but I can almost guarantee none of them are hiring, had a friend check Schwend and Walpole about a month ago and they weren't hiring, CCC was putting on 3 drivers in Sumterville for a new concrete plant off of hwy471. I live in Tallahassee and talked to a few bulk drivers for CCC that haul dedicated lime out of Alabama to Mulberry, don't know what the likelihood of getting on that run would be. Keep in mind Florida is a very hard place to become employed right now, especially in industries such as these.

Thanks for the information Millersod. You're right about there being no work here. I feel like a dog chacing his tail. Not hiring everywhere I go. I will look into CCC about the dedicated run. :thumbsup:

Coil, where in Florida are you located? I don't know every company in Fl operating bulk tankers, but maybe if I knew where you lived I could atleast point you in some sort of direction.

I believe I've seen "FLORIDA ROCK AND TANK LINES" pulling dry bulk tanks too.

If you live in Ocala, CCC has a terminal on the property of Franklin Materials, I believe that's the name, they're out there by the prison and the ocala speedway, not sure what the name of that road is, follow it out past the prison, Franklin will be on the right, right where the fire college is at. Walpole, Florida Rock, CCC, Pritchett, who I work for, they all haul out of there, might be a good place to start, and it's right there in your neck of the woods.
