I need advice (straight truck)

Hello everyone my name is Robert, I live in Sarasota, FL I have 3 years of experience driving commercial vehicles and I'm here because I have a few questions and I think this is the best place to get the answers.#

I know other people have asked this questions before but i think evert case is different. well, I'm thinking of leasing a straight truck (24 or 26 feet) to work on my own. I am already approved in a truck dealer but before taking that step I need to know where can I work because I can not afford to have my truck stopped without working. I will tell you guys exactly what I'm looking for and what I'm #not looking for so y'all #can get a better idea.#

1.I'm looking for a good company that I can work for and Can give me loads every day or at least every week.#

2. I want to work only in Florida or maybe go to Georgia and Alabama.

3.I'm not interested in OTR jobs.#

4.I'm not interested in a tractor-trailer.#

5.I know it's hard but I'm not trying to get rich with this, just to have some independence.#

So now that you guys know what #I really want here are my questions:#

1.Does Anybody know about a good company that have loads here in Florida?#

2.How much can I make with a 24 or 26 feet truck working only inside of florida? (I have hazmat)#

3.What permits do I need to operate a truck (24 or 26 feet) in FL and how much they cost?#

I want to let you guys know that I've call companies like u.s. xpress and fedex but they are looking for OTR candidates and I'm not interested in that.#

Well thanks for reading guys, all your answers will be welcome and thank you very much in advance for your tips.

Hello Bigarmin88. Well I know it's hard here in FL. Today I called Estes express and they told me that they don't have anything around this area. I'm also thinking about getting a dump truck but they are really expensive.

Thank you.

 

Hi Sam. Well I don't have any problems delivering furniture but I think I will need a helper for that right? Do you remember the name of the places that you are talking about.

Thanks.

 

I think that will be a better idea, I know there are a few companies around this area looking for dump trucks o/o the only problem is the value of the dump trucks.

Thanks.
