    I need to find a local job around the Tampa or Orlando area and i am not having a ton of luck. Does anyone have any leads they would share. Also, if i can't find local I'll do something where i can be home on the weekends. I have a year experience now, and for the last six months been with Melton flat bedding. I was looking at cypress, but idk about them. Help guys.

    Probably not what you want to hear but try food service companies or any of the Class B trucking fleets like Coca Cola or Pepsi.

    Sysco and the bottled beverage companies both have online job apps. Or you could just go to the warehouses/bottling plants and inquire within. I know that Orlando has both as I've done pickups and deliveries there before.

    Is that grocery warehouse still open in Sarasota? Maybe they closed a few years ago. Haven't been here since my reefer pulling days. Does Publix hire from within for drivers? Can't think of anything else right now.
