Best Mega in Florida?

I suspect the problem isn't that they won't hire from Florida. They won't hire a new driver in the state of Florida because the insurance is so high in the state of Florida for new drivers. If you had a few miles north into Louisiana or Alabama or Georgia more East you probably had better have a better chance. That's just my opinion in two cents worth based on what limited knowledge I have about the trucking industry in Florida.

 

Pay for your own cdl school, then hire on with a company that reimburses the tuition back to you.
Freymiller - www.drive4freymiller.com - click on "Recent Graduates"
SRT - www.southernref.com - reimburses up to $6000 back to you.
Here's some more that hire Florida new cdl school grads:
Groendyke Transport - purchased McKenzie Tank Lines in Tallahassee.
WEL
MCT Transportation
Milan Supply Chain Solutions
Some of these also have tuition reimbursement.

 

CFI - www.cfidrive.com - hires Florida drivers that live North of Interstate 4.
This company also has their own cdl school. It's a dry van outfit.

Megas are not mandatory except for the newbies that will not do any research. There are thousands of trucking companies. Do an internet search of trucking companies and your town. then start making phone calls. If you want a job you're going to have to put some effort into the search.

 

As soon as I send in my paperwork and get an approval. I'm hitting the phones. I may have an office girl make calls and submit forms and insurance info to start developing a database of brokers and other carriers to work with. Always have to lay a foundation to build upon

 

Cypress truck lines if ya wanna pull flat

 

I'll look into Cypress, in that case!

Thanks

 

May Trucking has a terminal in Pensacola and will reimburse you for school. They are good to start off with.
