Yep , Cincy is in the loop. Ft. Myers is down at the end of Lonely Street.
-
better traffic lanes, not a lot of freight too & out of fl.
-
Uh,
try a company based in Fort Meyers ???
Just an idea. -
If a company hires in Florida, they'll get you home. It probably won't be weekly or even every other week for the most part. There are some exceptions.
Here's a couple to consider:
May Trucking, which is who I started with and I often picked up a load down in Ft Meyers to run out to Oregon. Give them a call and see what they say. I have been out of touch with them for 3 years.
Cypress Truck Lines - flatbed carrier. They have a yard in Tampa and if I wanted to go with them I'd be home just about every weekend. May not be that often down your way but worth a call.
Call Con-Way Freight (That's NOT Con-Way Truckload.) Different divisions. Freight is the local delivery part. They, from time to time, hire brand new CDL holders.
You might also give CCC Transportation a call. They hire students too but not sure if they operate down in Ft Meyers. Here is their website.
Hope that helps. -
Talked to May a couple weeks ago. No go.
-
Can you elaborate?
-
Look at Windy Hill and Armellini......
-
Interesting. I've never heard of Windy Hill. They mostly run from SE - Mid West. Sounds easy to me. AND, they take students it appears. Nice find Spacecoast.
-
It IS January, in the next couple of months, more jobs will open down there.
Armellini currently requires experience.
Windy Hill is a possibility.
