    I'm 21 years old and I just got my cdl class A on 3/25/13 with endorsements tank, doubles-triples.
    I live in Tampa FL with my father and little brother.
    I need to find a local job because last June my mother was killed in a vehicle accident by a drunk piece of #### so my father depends on me to get my brother to school and any other school related activity he needs to get to.
    I've tried applying at a local jobs here in Tampa but they all require experience.
    I am very mature and responsible for my age and I can drive the issue is insurance cost and experience local companies will not hire me can anyone guide me in the right direction as to what I should do.

    Try your local beverage companies/beer companies..they may hire you..hard work, but at your age you can handle it...they are day jobs too, and home at night. Fuel/gas haulers deserve a look too. Good luck!

    Welcome, also go out driving one day on 60 east to 27 south, always see hiring drivers signs out that way going to Miami.
