New Guy from Ft Myers

Hey all, Just wanted to say hey to all the forum regulars. I've been reading it for awhile now and decided I may as well register and get the full benefits.

I was wondering how far in advance should I start contacting recruiters regarding company training?

Thanks for any and all future advice.

 

Thanks for the info. So far I have applied to..
Knight
Prime
Celadon
Stevens
CTL
Roehl
Swift
and Quality drivers which I think is a front for Mills

One thing I have found is some companies won't hire from my area. Why is that? I have no ties to Fla and am willing to be based anywhere I'm needed.

 

None of the companies I have applied to have said that. The ones that do on their I haven't applied to.
I used Florida as that is where my drivers license is from. None of the companies have approved me yet and I have only heard from one recruiter for Swift and I let him know I was not needing to be based in Fla.

 

So you think I would have better luck with a company that has a terminal in Fla than trying to relocate elsewhere?
Swift told me I would be based out of Ocala if I hired on.

 

Been Pre-approved for Stevens. If all goes well I'll start training in Denver on 1/15
