    Hello All,

    Im about to graduate from my CDL course and would appreciate some help from some experienced members. I live in Miami,Fl and would like some guidence as to what companies, or options are available down here. Im open to driving OTR or Local, I have experience in logistics(10years) and may consider purchasing a truck down the road as I learn more. What would be the best move for my area?

    Hub Group, usually require a year experience, but one of their owner-operator's might put you in a truck. Apply with Hub Group anyway.
