I'm trying to find some info on trucking companies in south Florida. Mainly local stuff. Long story short my daughter is moving down there and I am thinking about moving there to be closer to her since we r in NY now. I've only had my license since Aug 2014 tho. I've been driving a fuel tanker for the past few months tho so I have some experience. Any help with companies that will hire in that area would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure where they are located in Florida, but Gemini Transport ( AKA the yellow Love's Truck Stop tankers) have an opening for a fuel driver in Florida.

Lots of local tanker work in South Florida.
Comcar
Florida Rock & Tank
Lots of other places; just depends on where you plan to live. -
Thanks. I'm planning on south Florida. West palm, pompano beach. I kno that's where she will b. I also have fam in Orlando and Brandon areas but I would like to be closer to where she is.

Sherwin-Williams has a distribution center somewhere around Pompano Beach.
interlinebrands.com
Associated Grocers of Florida
TopGear Logistics
Since you want local, check a jobs website such as "Indeed" and look for "truck driver" in both Miami and Pompano Beach.
Should be able to find some tanker work such as fuel hauling or dry bulk hauling. Sometimes you see jobs for fueling aircraft at those small airports the rich people and corporations use.Flynam2982 Thanks this. -
Make sure you are ok with the pay before moving. $10-12 an hour to haul aircraft fuel in Orlando. The further south you get the cheaper and harder it is to get work. Do you know Spanish? That's almost a prerequisite for local trucking work in S FLA. I'm not bursting your bubble, just warning you to do your homework. Being a rookie isn't going to help either.

reads as if OP is single too.lots of senorita mamacitas will prob be a good thing.Flynam2982 Thanks this. -
I've seen SO many move here expecting to make what they made up north only to make half that, and pay double for rent. If I can help someone make a better more informed decision, I feel it's my duty.x#1 and Flynam2982 Thank this. -
Def thanks for the info. I plan on doing as much research as I can before I make any final decisions. I'm from Long Island. The cost of living def seems less in Florida. Rent here is ridiculous, never mind buying a house lol. And u dnt make that much more here than there. It's def gna b an adjustment but hopefully it'll work out. I would rather struggle somewhat there at first closer to my 4 yr old than struggle a lot here and have to pay for travel etc just to see her.
