Best address for rookie flatbed prospect

Hi All,

I graduate from CDL school in a couple weeks and live in Miami, FL. My hope is to find a company that hires CDL grads for OTR flatbed. I may be willing to relocate for the right job. One plan could be to first get a UPS post office box in a prime hiring location, and then use that on my applications, since not many companies that offer what I want hire out of south Florida. I applied with one company that does, but they haven't been responsive since my telephone interview a couple of weeks ago.

For example, the southeastern US seems like a good area to get hired out of. I could get an address in Birmingham, AL for example, fill out applications using that address, explain the situation during the hiring process, then relocate to a residence that would work for the company that hires me.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to best go about this? Thanks for any feedback. Really looking forward to getting started.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

Even if a got a UPS Store address in Orlando, wouldn't I need two documents proving my physical address to get my CDL changed? That's what the DMV requires. I could get my cell phone bill changed to the new address, and maybe register to vote there to get the other document. But I think they want a utility bill or mortgage statement.

Cypress does hire out of Florida, from Tampa/Orlando on up. Rinaudo hires within 150 miles of JAX. Melton hires the whole state, and told me that there's no advantage for getting hired by moving to another part of the state north of Miami. They are still processing my app. Orlando seems the best as it is within 150 miles of JAX, or an address in JAX. Cypress and Rinaudo have terminals in JAX. I could fly to Miami from JAX for my days off if I stay out for 6 weeks and get 6 days off.
