BEST FL COMPANY TO START DRIVNG FOR (NO EXP)

While one must inspect each trailer, just as one must do if they pull the same trailer every day, the paperwork has been eliminated except if one actually finds a problem. So I don't see much difference between the two. We do a lot of drop n hook but it's not like we are swapping trailers 12 times a day.

 

I started at Abilene last August and I really like it... Great equipment and great freight ... A mix of drop n hook and live load/unload and all of it is no touch.

I came here thinking it would be my "starter company" but I am really liking what they have going and will be here longer than originally thought.

Feel free to drop me a PM here if I can be of any assistance in answering questions about Abilene, etc.

It will be.

 

That may be a problem with Abilene.
Best look at Southern Refrigerated Transport because they have in-house cdl school. There may be some small outfits that will hire you without formal training and you'll have to knock on doors in your area to find them.
Here's a few that have their own in-house school. Since you don't plan on being there but a few months anyway,no reason to be very picky. Just get that diploma is the main thing.
MCT Transportation
Southern Refrigerated Transport
Western Express
Wil-Trans
CRST

 

Some trucking companies require a diploma and some insurance companies require a diploma.

 

Since you already have a cdl, some companies will fast track you through their program.

 

Thanks, I didn't even think about that.

I can follow up on this with our lead recruiter in the morning.

 

That is my hope, still prepared to go through a refresher or even the full school program again though.
