I have moved back to Florida ( what a mistake ) and I have 18 months experience with 6 of it being OTR, my question is who will take me out of North Florida? I think Prime and Transam will maybe May if somebody can give me some advice on these or some other companys. Thanks.

If you don't mind pulling a flatbed try cypress truck lines in jacksonville. Don't expect knew equipment though.

From what i have heard Cypress just purchased Sunbelt From Patriot Holdings, they were strickly flatbeds as well and also located in Jacksonville. They may have some decent equiptment coming on board from that deal...

You may also look into Arnold. I believe they are around Jacksonville.

Thanks for the advice I'll check into them and if anybody has anymore companys or advice on the ones i posted, that would be great.

It would be in your best interest to stay as far away from cyress as you can.i load next to these guys all the time in west tx,at a sheetrock plant.they by far have some of the worst equipment on the road.most have a million miles plus of bad or no maintance being done until it is broke on the side of the road.the guy's that run there will tell you the only reason they run there is because cypress will hire anybody and recent felony's are no prob.they will not get tarp's fixed,that's the driver's prob,and if you go through securement supplies from normal wear and tear,it is also your prob.try if you like but good luck if you do..

Once you get 2 years worth of experience try Pritchett Trucking out of Lake Butler, they run end dumps, walking floors, and have a few flatbeds. I've been with them almost 2 years now running out of Tallahassee locally, the pay is average, above average in Tallahassee for local jobs, and the company as a whole is very respectable. Their end dump positions probably offer the most pay, and they offer the broadest running areas, covering a lot of northeast and the midwest. I worked for the end dump division for 3 months, but just decided local was more my speed. On another note, i know LCT would probably pick you up, but that's all up to you, I've heard good and bad about them, but can't draw conclusions based solely on others opinions. Best of luck, and if you need any more info on Pritchett hit me up, i'll be glad to answer any questions you have.

Millersod215 I put into ur company they said if you dont have 2 years but went to a school for your cdl that they might use that as some experience and Pswann1017 I cant get onto the app. process on wiley sanders site si I'll try again tomorrow.

[millersod215]

Yes, i do know they constitute a driving school for some experience, i'm just not sure how that whole process works, i had over 2 years when i applied, so it was a fairly easy process for me. You can contact Roy Cruz at 800-486-7504 and discuss it further with him, if you don't mind running regionally talk to him about the walking floor division, or the long dump division, both are pretty good money makers and kind of get you off the beaten path hauling all different types of loads. I will give you a heads up though, the frameless dump can be very sketchy at times, but i enjoyed pulling it, kind of gave you a bit of a challenge through the day. Anyway, good luck with whatever you do, and if i can be of any more help just PM me and i'll do my best to answer your questions.
