You'll also have an income while you look for that local job. Keep an eye on your news paper listings but also keep an eye open on who has trucking businesses around your area and then cold call on the ones you want. Not all driving positions are listed.

thanks, for the input, Brickman. The economy is really struggling, here in southwest Fl. I'm just wanting to get a decent job to support my family.

How did they treat you at Roadmaster in Tampa? Who did you go to work for? Any regrets or suggestions? I am considering going there too.

I'd take the long run. I'm antisocial, so that would mean I don't have to talk to anyone for 3 days.
