    Hi ebaugh 90 and welcome to the truckers forum. I would suggest looking at every single local dump company you can find as you can only do inter-florida. Also, go to your local truck stop and start asking o/o's if they know any leads. My final suggestion would to apply at Ryder as a fuel attendant or Penske. You could try the big truck dealers too. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

    Ebaugh,

    I agree with notarps and if worse comes to worse wait until you are 21. Not trying to hurt your feelings, but the insurance will be outrageous.

    I understand. I've been wanting to do this for over a decade, my determination will keep me going. Ill work for half the pay if I need to. Whatever gets me a job driving to gain experience.
