    There's some milk tanker companies that will hire you after you get 12 mos. experience and become a Florida resident.

    CRST is at 99% on Driver Pulse… from my experience so far they’ll call before close today or early tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed.

    Ok then.

    At least you can say, "I tried."


    At this point in your game, I see you have 2 strategies to work with:

    a) Apply with the suggestions that Chinatown made, and follow-up with them, as appropriate.
    b) Also--try Swift first, then Schneider.

    Despite all the horror stories and fun memes that are floating around--there are drivers here on the Forum that (believe it, or not) have had good experiences with Swift.

    Both Swift and Schneider have A LLLOOOOOTTT of freight up in the northeast--and thus are more likely to take a shine to someone in your location/position.

    Good luck, Driver. :hello2:

    This is probably what I’ll do. I’d love the tanker experience.

    A good suggestion--but I remember reading elsewhere here that they had recently stopped hiring.

    I guess they are getting ready for the recession. :(
