    I've never worked directly for them, but they are a floral carrier and I know their gig. I've worked for a couple floral carriers. It is hard work, but its one of the highest paid jobs in the trucking industry. You also are home all the time. You leave out from Fl and have anywhere from ten to fifty stops at floral shop mainly.Once your run is done(and you have to hustle because its a load of high dollar perishable flowers) you grab a load of something to get you right back to Fl. This is also team driving only. If you are not an experienced driver this job will give you advanced training and in a hurry.If you have a family at home and are a hard worker this is a good job.Armellini isnt the only one either, I have been looking into getting back into this and am compiling a list of contacts.(hence the reason for this thread)Good luck!
