Hey Ya'll,
I know I am the one usually spitting out tons of useless blabber and extra long posts, but I have a question for the whole of you guys and thought maybe a group collaboration could solve the problem.
I have a friend of mine who got suckered into TDI here in Sanford Florida by a recruiter who knew he had two tickets, one over 15mph and one for like 14mph over. He was only issued 4 points because he got the points for the other taken off in court. So 4 points total currently on his license. The tickets drop off in December. (being his 3 years)
He just graduated last week and as most of you know has about 30-45 days or so to find a company to go with. Right now none of the mega-carriers will touch him until December. Well if he waits until then he will most likely have to pay for refresher course being a new driver with absolutely no experience.
So this is my question to all, does anyone know anywhere or know of anyone/company/mom and pop/owner operator that may want to give him a shot? Even any suggestions as to where he may apply or contact would also be great!
He is a very hard worker, has no need to come, so home time is not important and he is willing to team or do whatever it takes to get out there. He is also intelligent and has a good grasp on driving skills.
Any suggestions guys would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks ahead.....Chompi.........

He has no experience other than box truck. Fresh out of school.

It's a long shot, but what about Florida's DOT? You know, the road department, pulling trailers behind the dump trucks or something similar? Or one of the construction outfits?
I'm sorry I can't be more help. I just don't know any smaller outfits or O/O's out of Florida.
I do hope your friend finds something soon. It sucks that he got lied to by the school recruiter.chompi and I-80Trucker Thank this. -

Here, give him these websites.
Trucking Companies - Wisconsin
Green bay, Wisconsin Trucking Companies - Transport Freight Shipping Service Companies
He will need to find his state, and city. But, the sites will list many of the companies in your area, some of them might be hiring, and willing to take the chance. Otherwise, I'm not sure who to suggest specifically.I-80Trucker and chompi Thank this.
