    Can anybody give me a company that will hire a student with his cdl out of Florida. I'm screwed all the way around!!!!!!!! I found lots of companies but I live in Florida! ######! Not even swift is hiring. Stevens said they can have me out there next week but again I live in florida. #### Florida to hell! I'm beginning to think I wasted my time and money picking this for a career. This has got to be a joke, and I'll wake up later. I'm LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:biggrin_25510::biggrin_255 10::biggrin_25510::biggrin_25510::biggrin_25510:

    I know for sure Armellini is hiring. Really good money but hard work. The run flowers and hometime is good.

    When they would send me to pick up trucks that had been repossessed, I went to Fla the most, Gravel trains the most!
    I hated that job

    Florida is the worst for freight. You guys consume and don't make anything, other than flowers and produce, which is seasonal. The big guys don't like to go there, and you will one day want to go home, with no way out in some cases, or at a loss.

    Check out some of the smaller companies, poke around at a fuel stop and talk to some local drivers. That will be your best bet.

    Or check into transport outfits. I drove for one for awhile down there. Don't know what's in your area though, if any.

    I think SRT told me I needed 160 hours of school and I have 120 hours. I'll try them again. Thank you!
