    No one has an answer because we do not know where you are, location you want to work.

    Try Tampa Truck Driving School. > Address: 8501-B Sabal Industrial Blvd, Tampa, FL 33619
    This school has lots of incentives to make sure you get a cdl.
    You don't need any money; some companies will cover the tuition, meals, lodging.

    Progressing enough in what.
    Driving, flat bedding, or both.

    You can always hop in a dry van or reefer
    And not be bothered with the flat bed for now.
    Just open and close doors.

    Prime Inc. may have some regional. There's a terminal around there; maybe Lakeland.

    I too would like to hear what, not progression enough means?
    I assume you already have your cdl?

    During the training, where did you struggle the most? And where did you excel?

    They have "Floral Locations" in Miami and Pierson, FL (due west of Daytona Beach).

    I'm in Florida in a dry van all of the time, but I had no idea Prime had any locations in Florida. I've seen their Floral trailers, though. Now it makes sense.
