    O-BOY. I am in the same boat as you. I live in SWFL. I have only driven local. Now i cant find any jobs and the only OTR companys that will hire this far south are CR England, US Express, and Werner.I have to work so I am choosing Werner...we will see how it goes.
    Altho, with you living in central FL it should not be as hard to find a job.

    Ya, werner would not give me experience credits for the last 8 months because the trailers were only 35'. But they have me down for 26 months of pervious experience. Werner is not hard to get hired on with. Altho, because i have never been OTR i will be riding with a trainer for 3 weeks.
