    I am out of the Tampa, Fl area. i dont HAVE to drive out of this area though.

    Looking for solo company driver position. I DO NOT want to run as a team. I understand that I will have a trainer for 3-6 weeks and that is fine. Afterwards, I want my truck, dispatched and left alone. I have no concerns about home time. Miles is what I want. I have no problem running 21-30 days. Just keep me rolling.

    I will have a balance after graduation from my tuition. Tuition assistance would be nice, but not a priority, provided I am getting the miles.

    I prefer to scan and email any/all receipts, tripaks etc from my personal laptop.

    Any/All suggestions on what companies are out there that drivers have experience with would be highly appreciated.

    Stevens Transport. They claim they'll get you about 3000 miles a week, and they'll keep you out 3-5 weeks at a time.
