    I graduated from Roadmaster inc of tampa florida almost three months ago. While i was there i was "pre hired" to work for covenant. After my 160+ hour training had finished i went home and waited untill march 8th the day i was to call in and get my bus ticket for orientation. To my dismay they pushed me back a month because my i.d. is a fort myers address and they only hire out of tampa. i explained to her that i would have it changed the next day which i did. I call back and sure enough she gave my seat up and LOST ALL MY PAPER WORK. I cannot afford to wait any longer, if i do my cdl WILL be suspended as i have not payed for child support in 4 months. can anyone tell me who is hiring graduates FOR WHATEVER PAYS i dont care what i make. i dont care if i haul cat turds. i just want to make a paycheck and get on with my life. please anyone that knows any company hiring out of tampa let me know.

    Good luck. You know it's bad when you get a technical crock of ##### from Covenant. Couple years ago they were paying referrals on anybody with a pulse wasn't they? lol.

    knight doesn't seem to be hiring from my area thanks anyways though. and doesn't it look bad on your resume that you drove a dump truck? i mean the money is in OTR. that is after all what i would like. keeping in mind i will take what i can get i will look into it though.

    Give Werner a call(800-433-5655). I know they are hiring teams in the Tampa area because that's where I'm from. I'm actually moving to Texas to drive for them. I've driven for them before and don't believe all the bull c__p you read about them, their not so bad.

    I'd look in to Waste Management, you say the money is in OTR, you're fooled there, atleast for the first few years. Waste Management is hiring a lot all over Florida right now, I haul in to one of their landfills in north florida and all their residential drivers I talk to are happy and paid very well with full benefits.

    Call Willis Shaw,
    Swift,
    Wil-trans

    But first call Covenant and explain things AGAIN, and practically beg them. Be as nice as you know how.

    You're burning daylight man, go after a job !!!!!
