    i been here in florida for a while cant find a trucking job... this sucks every company asking for 2-3 years exp where are all these people graduating from cdl mills going?

    not even being an o/o no company wants to add a truck with a driver without 2 yrs with the license.

    no insurance company wants to take any risks so how are new people supposed to enter the industry...

    i though there was a shortage of drivers?

    Florida is tough. Lots of freight going in but they don't produce anything but oranges, so not much going out. Thus, in florida, there are a lto fo drivers and not much outgoing freght. That means they can be pickey with who they hire.

    It's tough. When I first started the only companies that would hire me were CRST and Carolina Cargo.

    Arnold (out of Jacksonville) will hire you. They are a decent beginner company.

    OP, state where you live and how much recent experience. Perhaps someone might give you a decent lead. Several companies hire all the time in my area.

    This is why people move or find other jobs. Sadly you cannot make the world cater to your wants.
