    Foodservice in some areas do though. As for LTL youll have to hire on as a dock worker then when a driving position opens you can most likely take it unless your union.

    More likely but in Florida,there no union...:biggrin_25516:

    I work as dock worker for 6 months in Tampa and I had my CDL-A but they wouldn't give me a chance,I was told they don't hire drivers without experience.
