Man!!!! I wanted to do that with KLLM. The issue is that they didn't have anything in Florida at the moment for solo drivers. I have a couple if lady friends and they're in Cincinnati and Houston and they both said I can use their addresses. So I'm open to changing my address if I don't have to change my florida license. I don't want to give up my hazmat or TWIC.

I had a classmate that wanted to go with them. When we graduated back in December. They didn't have any openings out of the Tallahassee area.Chinatown Thanks this.

Thank you sooo much for your insight. I don't need to go somewhere that has more bad equipment. Seems like I'm gonna do more running than sitting if I go with them. Not gonna lie I do hate driver facing cameras but with my situation I need to make a decent living.

I will check to see if they have any openings. They were beating my door down recently along with TMC.

I'd go with TMC before Cypress.

You're better off in Florida. Las Vegas is a winner....lol
I was going to move to Melborne, FL from Las Vegas, but home prices & interest skyrocketed before I could get a deal done.
You'd have to re-do hazmat and TWIC fingerprints if you change address to another state.Last edited: May 10, 2025

Cypress will give you better hometime options in Florida, they have different divisions with daily, every other day and weekly home time options as well as OTR, I’m not sure that TMC is any better, equally slow trucks. Cypress has plenty of freight in Florida. I’ve been with Pritchett for 13 years this October, I started in Tallahassee, I don’t think they hire with minimal experience anymore. If you do consider Tallahassee, it’s running garbage to campbellton FL, the money is decent, the work is nasty and stressful at times, if you can get past that it’s a decent account to be on, long hours especially in the summer, trash slows way down when college isnt in session.

Exactly!!! I don't wan a change that. That's too valuable for me to start over in another state.
