Don't rule out Prime just yet. Might be your best chance to hit the road. At least with Prime, the equipment is top notch and the pay is very good, in the reefer division.

Climate may be inclined to hire you since you want to live out of the truck. They have had Florida drivers in the past but they require them to stay out 4 to 6 Weems. The question would be how much tractor trailer experience do you have? You'll need 1 year OTR, or if not OTR, 2 years tractor trailer experience locally.

I am not ruling out Prime as of yet. I have several friends that drive for them and all but one are all lease ops and they are all happy (I am still researching that and still don't have an opinion as of yet) I had a start date, but something came up that I had to deal with so I had to put that on hold.
I have 3 years experience as a yard jockey but didn't get my CDL until my last 6 months at that company. I would drive a trailer to Tampa or Daytona, and that is about it. I would be lucky if I did it twice a week. My current gig is that I drive a box truck for a live entertainment group. Honestly what really pushed me is a friend of mine just got on tour and wants me to work for him, but I need the experience before I can go on tour.Chinatown Thanks this. -
With things so quiet at the moment I'd put an add out I'm sure if your willing to make the right offer ($$$$) some O/O will be willing to take you out on the road with them providing your good to get along with, that'd always be an issue no matter who is in your cab, a bit like being a taxi driver I guess you can't pick and choose your customers very much. Although in this case I guess the operator of the truck can.
