    currently in the army, and getting out soon due to medical issues (bad back). i have been trying to look for jobs in florida, specifically the orlando area.

    any one know of anycompanies that might be hiring? so far i saw a few on craigslist but i dont know where else to look.

    prefer a more local instead of OTR.

    (i have a class A with tanker already)

    Check for ltl company terminals.There should be a ton in that area.
    You may have to start on dock,or work nights,but its not impossible.
    List an address close to where your looking,and do some face to face
    walk ins to inquire about a job.
    Good luck to ya,and do the leg work,and it will pay off.

    Edit``Do Not Mention Bad Back!!They won't touch you with 10 ft pole.
    You may need no touch freight?

    How recently have you driven? Possessing a CDL doesn't mean much anymore without recent experience.

    There are a couple fuel hauling companies around there. Lack of real world driving experience may hurt but the fact you are a vet may help.
