Looking for a trucking school or paid training that will except me out of Florida with my MVR & CH

What school did you go to in Florida?

Keep your license clean from here on out. It's your lively hood now.

I went through a 10 week, 320 hr, 1,000 miles school also back in 2011.

 

Which company did you go with? You're doing great!

 

Good job. I'll add that one to my notebook
How did you find that job?

Chip Van – hauling wood by-products, such as wood chips, shavings, and sawdust from wood-processing mills to specific destinations.

Live Floor – driving a van-type trailer that unloads itself; hauling various material, including mulch, potting soil, trash, bark, and feed. We offer local and over the road positions operating in the southeast.

Local End Dump – end dump tractor trailer primarily transporting limerock, aggregates , and other bulk products; primarily hauling limerock

Frameless Dump – hauling many types of products, including metal, fertilizers, and all types of aggregate. This position is over the road.

 

Good job on getting your cdl and beating the odds getting a local job out the gate. Just keep in mind for the future. Most OTR companies don't count local work as driving experience because your not OTR. So if you make the change you might have to go to a mega.

 

Nah, most MEGA OTR companies don't count local experience. Smaller companies rely more on personal interaction, the ability to demonstrate safe operation and control of the vehicle, and having the experience in operating the vehicle as required by the insurance carrier. In our case, that's 100,000 miles, so if he drives 300 miles per day as a local driver, he would be eligible to hire for a regional fleet position after 67 weeks of experience, assuming he's driving a 5-day work week (56 week if a 6-day work week).|

Granted, with that MVR, he would likely not get in the door at a place like ours without a few more clean years of safe, violation-free operation.
