I’m interested in starting a new career in trucking, but I live in Palm Beach County and every mega carrier that I contact isn’t hiring out of south Florida. Does anyone have any suggestions of companies that will train and hire from this section of the country. I heard CRST might hire from this area, but I’ve read so many bad things.
Thank you in advance.

Which companies have you contacted that don't hire from there with cdl training?
Did you try this one? Refrigerated division probably hauls lots of produce out of south Florida.

So far I’ve contacted Prime and Swift and they aren’t hiring from Florida right now. I going to contact Knight this week and I’m currently researching other mega carriers as possibilities.

Thank you for the replies. I’ve heard shady things about Stevens, such as the contract being longer than they tell you when you first start school. I heard you have to drive with them for around two years to pay off the training.
I’ll definitely contact the swift refrigerated division though.Chinatown Thanks this. -
