What I'd enjoy is all the free food and also all the booze one can pilfer.

As stated im looking for anything at least temporarily, my current choice companies aren't hiring right now (IRT isn't hiring because I have 2 tickets so gotta wait a few months so it drops off and EW Wiley said they demanded a year at previous carrier)

Can't find any work currently, every Mega and florida based company has told me no

No accidents, 2 tickets, no sap/dui

5 companies in 3 years 8 months (2 years were at the same company

I have food grade tanker experience and am open to flatbed and dry van as well

Looking for:

No driver cams, no uniforms, no local/daycab and preferably 60cpm or higher and bare minimum $1200 a week

Pretty much called everyone im aware of and been told no or lied to

Companies ive already tried to apply to or worked for:

CFI, Big G, Marten, WEL, CR England, Swift, Knight, KLLM, K&B, Kennesaw, May Trucking, Red Stag, Carry, Western Dairy Transport, CRST, Werner, Warren, FCC(fremont), Sunstate Carriers, Cypress Truck lines, Gypsum, Prime, Hirschbach, ABCO, Paschall, Oakley, Heartland Express, Boyd Bros, Hogan, DMT, H&M, Mcelroy, TMC, ATS, PGT, Melton, FreyMiller, Wapole, Whiteline, Robert Bearden, HR Ewell, DB Schenker, Sunland Distribution, Rowland, Venezia, Foodliner, Covenant, MVT(Mesilla Valley), Rohel, Hellbent Express (only hires SD), Bottomley(only hires SC), Combined transport/blackwell (only hires western US), KAG, Heyl, Crete/Shaffer

Pretty much at a loss looking for anything, no money to go get my hazmat, im tempted to just work for western express and try to skimp on time and lay around the job til something else real hires or I get a year with carrier so I can go to EW Wiley

I dont wanna go to Western Express bc I know they dont have APU/AC/Heat in the truck and I aint trying to be a slave working for free and be miserable and I know it'll hurt my work history with them even being on there

Any other options? No company wants to hire a central Florida driver/Tampa area, im not even worried about hometime I'll probably stay out at whatever my next place is til I quit even up to a year like I had to do most of 2024

Im currently looking at National carriers, Big M, Total Transport and HMD but im expecting a no back with my luck
All I know is its gotta be an OTR position I cant take local whatsoever and I wont team with someone I dont know(all 4 of my team driver choices aren't leaving their job currently)

Any advice? Im tempted to just get out of the industry at this point, theres no good work and what work there is has no miles

Don't really wanna get out of trucking, got into it because my other career fields/certifications didnt get me work and now even trucking has dried up

Maybe it's just me, but anything is better than flipping burgers.

Im getting $200-$400 a week now begging on the street so western express is kinda a downgrade, plus western express doesn't have apu/heat/ac you're hot in the summer cold in the winter and they dont let the truck idle

Why can’t you do anything local? Even if it’s lower pay you don’t have the expense of living on the road, can prepare meals at home, etc.

edit: you just posted you’re wanting to leave where you’re at. But that might not be possible for the time being. Might have to suck it up and take something to start generating revenue before you can be picky about where your paycheck comes from. Especially in this market. Companies can afford to be choosy, as you’re finding out.

Also taking any driving job you can get right now and then switching companies as soon as you can isn’t going to help your work history. Especially if the job you think you want ends up not working out.

Abusive home is all I have and I cant stand being around my father, dude beat me as a kid only reason I have it as a home is I have enough on him to get him 20 years in jail if I turned him in so he aint gonna do anything to me, but otherwise its the only I have besides being fully homeless. Id just rather not be here im not trying to catch a life sentence, so no local wont work besides that I dont have a vehicle, had to sell my car just to eat
