    He said he has family in Florida is why I listed those.
    He can probably go with a 1099 company off Craigslist.

    I was thinking about TransAm.
    You are both correct. I still live in Cedar Rapids but all of the family I had in Iowa has either retired to Florida or isn't planning on staying in Iowa so I am considering relocating to Florida. I remember talking to a TransAm driver when I was otr with Schneider who lived in Florida and was able to get home. I do realize that an at fault rollover is pretty much a death sentence in trucking. Also, as I've mentioned, I had been given the suggestion of TransAm by a few people but I really didn't think they would touch someone in my shoes. However if Chinatown, our resident company expert, is also suggesting them then maybe I would have a chance. Would it be worth applying to them Chinatown? Finally I had been considering buying my own truck before the accident and would be willing to do so if I could find someone to let me lease onto provided someone would insure me. Thanks for all the help guys.

    Apply with TransAm and find out; maybe luck out. Friend of mine worked there for 2 years and loved the company. Only reason he left was his wife pressured him to get a local job.

    The driver that had a rollover and went with Florida Beauty Express was hired by the company to drive a box truck within Florida picking up partial loads to consolidate in Miami for the OTR drivers. Lots of box truck jobs in Florida. Twiss Transport might consider you for that type work, but there's dozens more.

    No personal income taxes in Florida.

    Last week I parked my Rig at there lot in Kearney NJ and flew home to Denver for the weekend, on Monday they sent me to the Bronks to get a empty....I was kinda in a hurry so I didnt google map it...when I arrived it was a empty field with a fence around it. Called in support says just bobtail in...I race over there as they close at 6pm...no luck with traffic...about an hour latter I get a call and Pat says can you go 55 miles to get an empty since you cant grab that load untill 7am...ahhhh NO as I am already behind.
