    You'll pretty much have to find something local and not on the internet (except maybe that list of craig's). Right now you don't want to live in any corner of the country. Way too many deadhead miles to get you home. It's hard enough for the newbs who live right in the middle of multiple lanes as it is right now. FL has the same problem as does TX.

    Try not to be out of work for more than a couple months! You may be looking at a "refresher" course at your own expense before a lot of these companies will consider you again.

    G'luck!
