    Doesn’t look like they’re looking for drivers in Florida but I guess I can give them a call.

     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Heyl Truck Lines has a facility in Zephyrhills. I don’t know anything about them.

    Ryder, Ruan, and Penske logistics all might be worth a look.

    I’d drive around the distribution centers and see what all companies are around there. You may stumble onto an OTR company with a yard. Then, go in and have a chat. I wouldn’t want to deal with truck and trailer parking, especially in your neighborhood.

    We've hired Florida drivers, but working for Climate Express is a terrible fit for Florida drivers if I'm honest. They will want you to stay out 6 weeks but they won't allow for you to be home for very long because Florida isn't a primary running lane. We go there, but not often enough to make it a good fit for Florida drivers.

    Perhaps Kottke out of Buffalo Lake, MN is a good fit. They have a terminal in Florida, I can't remember where, perhaps Winter Haven. I'd look in that direction first.
     
    ducnut and tscottme Thank this.
