    Good evening ladies and gentlemen,

    It's been a while since I've been in the industry. I am looking at possibly re-obtaining my CDL. I live in Central Florida and see job ads all the time. When I go to the carriers website, they say one thing meaning that they will list a position such as temperature controlled for over the road. Or Southeast regional. Is the SE position A way for you to to get hired by the recruiter and go OTR?

    What I'm saying is, do trucking companies advertise for one position and hire you for another?

    private Cdl school. I have a list of companies I'm interested in. I just don't know the reputation as my former friend refused to ask the drivers when he was otr.

    Which town are you in or near in Central Florida?
    I can probably give you a dozen or so companies that hire new cdl school grads.

    I really want to go with Davis out of Stark or PTI a.k.a. paper transport. Werner also appeals to me.
