    I'm referring to the Walmart dedicated fleet. I often pass the fort pierce DC sometimes and see all carriers. SNI, PAM, Knight, Swift, and others. I've seen them from 95.

    Armellini is owned by the mob (where do you think the name came from?). They used to be an outlaw company that ran their drivers into the ground. Used to see wrecked armellini trucks all up and down 95 all the time because their drivers fell asleep at the wheel. Dont know how they are today but I don't trust em.

    Start by looking for a company that has a terminal there. Forward air has one and I think landstar does.

    Pretty sure that KH meant he hasn't seen the dedicated swift trucks pulling a walmart dry van because swift is only contracted to haul reefers at the grocery DCs. I personally have seen quite a few swift trucks pulling walmart dry boxes, so i'm not sure what to say.

    I currently drive for indian river out of winter haven, but I've been sitting a lot lately and I'm really sick of it. Going to give it some time to pick back up but if this turns out to be more than a temporary thing I'll be going somewhere else. Can't afford to wait around all the time on incompetent customers to get their shizz together.

    I am in Orlando. I just finished up with CRST, not bad but not great. I am looking at Cypress or Con-way.

    What time of the day do you like to run, do you own a truck?

    I love to run at night. And no truck for me just yet. Maybe later on down the road.

    I am in Ft. Myers. Working for Con-Way Truckload for about two years and plenty happy. Forward Air and Landstar mentioned earlier are owner/operator companies. Maybe that was the topic when they were mentioned or maybe someone got confused.

    Good luck.
