    Plenty of other flower/plant haulers down here.

    Florida Beauty Express would be dead last on my list.

    If you read through some of the CSA infractions they hire just about anyone as I found one that they got for driver not being able to understand the english language well enough to communicate to officers.

    In Florida, they give the CDL written test in Spanish.

    Ah gotta love that, was unaware FL did that, explains a lot why I see ppl driving down a major road in landscape trucks actually driving slow enough to get tickets for impeeding traffic doing km/h and why I am starting to see dual signs with mph and kmh on them. Figured out they were doing km/h when I got stuck behind one on a 2 lane hwy.

    Seen my old man get burned when dealing with anyone from South Florida and we're Hispanics ourselves. Don't care for any carrier out of there. Nothing but shoe string operations trying to make some money before DOT shuts them down.

    By the way anyone remember the "English only" signs posted at the fuel islands up and down 95 in the late 90s early 2000s?

    Some years ago and maybe still, they had some shady cdl schools and some people working at the dmv that you could pay and receive a cdl.
