    Give Heyl a call. They require 6 months. Ask them about the Florida/Georgia Fleet. You must live within 30 miles of Zephyrhills to get on that Fleet. They have been advertising that Fleet lately.

    You would have to relocate there as they require you to leave the equipment at their terminal. I believe your home every other night. Relocating up that way there are many more employment opportunities than down south.

    Roehl advertises a program for Florida drivers where they fly you from your home airport to the midwest where you pick up your truck, drive for three weeks, then they fly you home for a week of home time (the 21/7 program). Check it out on their website. Werner has something similar called the "Coach" fleet or something like that where they bus you to Atlanta, you do two or three weeks then they bus you home for a week.
