Hiring students in Florida?

Have you tried NFI ?

 

sorry to hear your bad luck iv gone thru the same thing but didnt go thru a school,tryed everyone,i cant even get a job hauling containers out of the port cause the cubans have it locked up and pretty much run everthing and your gona find if your south of orlando or tampa your siht out of luck but may i suggest armillinitrucking,and buy the way you just spent six mths to a yr and 3-6000 dollar to have to wait till you have had your lic a bit longer to get hired on or go thru a company program all over again and get crap buy the mile exsepet the exspirence ???????dosnt your school have a job placement area???thats something id check out i know for a while the guys i seem at a truckdriveing school they lied where they lived so they could get a job?????

 

seems the world has become a difficult place for drivers,thanks to the big truckingcompanys that will give an inexspirenced drive a chance and rake him over the coals with trial and error with slave wages, at 3000 miles at .22 cent a mile thats 660 a week before taxes so after taxes and your school payment and what ever bills you have,then the fight to get a job freight is low so the miles are low and the company gets cheap labor witch but the way is less than minimum wage at 70 hr a week just to say i can drive a big truck and see the country,what there not telling you is the hurry up and wait routine and then its a hot load cause the dm dint have a truck so the load was picked up late due to PPP this is called( piss poor planing) on the dms part and your supposed to pic up his slack and make him look better???but god forbid you idle your truck and burn a little extra fuel covering his ###,and if your useing paperless logs you can get shut down buy your company for your hos?????so my question to you is how dos it feel to be a minority and find out your just a number and you could lose everthing you worked for because the dm didnt get what he wanted and makes you sit and you have no miles and no $$$$$ so how dos it feel to put your future in the hands of someone that dont give to hoots about you?????is this a chance your willing to take??????this is the question you have to ask yourself

And swift is your only choice unless u dont wanna run teams i dont know how well u play with others. but best of luck

 

Look into CCC (ComCar) out of Auburndale. They were hiring new drivers, maybe Cypress too. It's tough down there and several companies have the market cornered so freight is scarce. I know New Line and Shelton are good at sucking up flatbed freight. Maybe find a citrus company and get in on the orange harvesting, though that's probably over for right now. Might check out PAM and AFS too.
