    they are almost done with that bridge, should be done by end of next year. right now only trucks will be able to make the journey as there is no place to get fuel along route but they are planning on a way to fix it so cars will be able to travel.

    i know i don't have a lot of experience like everyone else here does, but, just from this one post, truck driving may not be something you will be happy with. With a 1 year old and a gf, being away is going to be tuff. Me personally, OTR is just not an option cause i'm a family man myself and i just can't be gone like that. Have you considered dump trucks or garbage trucks or even concrete trucks? At least with them you would be home everyday to see your son. Good luck to you!

    There is probably plenty of box truck jobs hauling produce/groceries/fuel to Key West out of South Florida.

    Any advice on where to start looking for info on those ???

    N guys OTR isn't my choice it was just easiest to get in to n get my cdl fast so I took that route with hopes of finding a local gig asap... I really would like box trucks. Dump trucks dont pay too good do they?

    Ps. My truck has been in and out the shop literally the past month straight. These fuking idiots can't fix an Apu and pplnet. I think I'd make more money switching to us express right now back at training stage at least it's 40 a week. I'm so upset omfg.

    At the end of the day you gotta do what makes you happy. Finding a good job is a job in itself.
