    There is supposedly a shortage of drivers but newbie's like me (clean as a whistle records) have a hard time getting a job. Maybe if I were from Mexico these companies would welcome me with open arms.

    It's a you're from Florida problem. It's hard for a company to get you home if they don't have terminals there or freight going that way. Otherwise, there's no shortage of drivers, just a shortage of drivers willing to work cheap, get low miles, and be abused by the bottom feeders.

    That's where I'm from and I didn't have a hard time getting a job with a very good company (Crete/Shaffer) right out of school. This is where I plan on being for a long time.
