Who has a good job in Florida?

To the two young guys, buying a truck right now in florida, especially at your age and no experience is going to be the worst thing you could ever do, I hate to say but you're going to lose your butt. You guys need to think long and hard about that decission, you're going to be limited to Florida driving only, your insurance rates are going to be through the roof, have you looked at the cost of fuel lately? One of you mentioned hauling rock, I work for Pritchett trucking and our rock haulers out of Lake butler and Palatka are struggling to say the least, just take the advice of some of the senior drivers on here, I know you guys have it in your head to go through with buying a truck, but it's nowhere near as easy or productive as you guys think, my friend lost everything he had a few years back when things were still okay, they've went so much farther down hill from then. Please take the advice of others, I'd hate to see you guys lose everything just for the "adventure" of driving, it's not going to turn out the way you think.

 

You won't really find a website for patco, but their closest terminal for you is in brooksville off of 98. They're so so for a local company, pay is low but they seem to stay fairly busy. They've got a job in Louisianna going on and that's about all they've been advertising for lately, drivers needed to work out of state, so if that's something you're interested in you might look in to it. I've also heard through the grapevine that Cypress is hiring dump drivers up around crystal river, inverness area. Anyhow, that's what I know about patco, they also operate under the names montgomery, margie wood, bellview transport, diamond c transport, and tampa truck lines, I have no clue why they have all those names but they're all one in the same.
