tonakis i would apply at dillon just to see what happens they've been posting in tampa Craigslist for a couple months now that they need 100 drivers applying never hurts your age helps you but im pretty much stuck with the bottom feeders since all the reputable companies' insurance premiums would go up if they were to hire a 21 year old

I feel your pain and you are absolutely right about that. The bigger the company - the better chance you have as a rookie. That applies to me too by the way
))) I just applied to
1. Schneider (solo)
2. Windy Hill (solo, florals)
3. Armellini (teams, florals)
I still cannot get over the idea of driving team, but I hear great things from my instructor, this forum and drivers on the road. You might want to check them out. Let us know here how you progress. I will be posting every step too. -
Let me know what Dillon says

thnx bud i just passed my hazmat today going for background check, fingerprints, and TWIC card tomorrow if with all that i cant find anything good locally im getting a plane ticket to texas haha
rockyroad74 Thanks this. -
Hehe! I was thinking about Texas too, but I will get a few months as a newbie somewhere before I start researching this topic more thoroughly. Btw, for the TWIC card, you can use the background check from the hazmat, you will also save about $20 ($110 instead of $130). I am just waiting to get my license and background check back in the mail, it has been a couple of weeks. Then I am getting a TWIC momentarily.

23 years all different kinds of experience, endorsements-hazmat, doubles, tanker, local home nightly, does that help

I would try Dillon. I am pretty sure they have a terminal in Tampa. Heard all good things about them. Give them a try
