Suggestion:
Earlier in this same thread -- I offered some local-area job opportunities. These jobs have training for newly-minted CDL holders.
I would suggest -- given how incredibly flabby the current market is for drivers out of south FL with no experience -- that you go after/take one of those local jobs --build up some experience -- & then go after an OTR job when you have 12+ months to offer (along with a clean safety record, as well -- no incidents/accidents/citations).
To further bolster your marketability even more -- go after, & get ALL the relevant CDL endorsements: tanker, hazmat & also....doubles/triples. To score a CDL-A job with any of the LTL carriers, you'd need those endorsements, anyway.
If you later had 12+ months experience with any of those local jobs (along with a good safety record)....those earlier OTR job suggestions would take you FAR MORE SERIOUSLY.
"All good things come to those who wait"
Think about it....

On a good note I changed my address to Bushnell Florida
Chinatown Thanks this. -
Just a phone call won't cut it these days. -
Start submitting applications using the Bushnell address. -
Yeah I've started I did a lot of applications already on the driver pulse thing should I redo them or does it update
-
Update with your new address, if you haven't already.

If you can in fact prove to the rest of the world that you indeed have a Bushnell, FL address (power bill, rental payment, phone bill, etc)....then that opens the door for you to go after this one:
Werner Enterprises -- no prev exp req'd -- very pet friendly -- OTR & regional -- will train
This one will indeed turn you into a professional long-haul machine.
As suggested above -- DON'T CALL FIRST -- instead, fill out/complete the on-line application first -- wait a few days after you submit it, then follow-up with a call to recruiting -- & ask 'em about the status of your app.
The above ad was posted very recently -- so it should not be an expired opening (as of this writing, anyway).
-- LChinatown Thanks this. -
