    You moving to Florida? Pepsi in Tampa is supposed to be a good gig. All sideloaders for the most part.

    Lemme know when. I might be able to get you in a truck as soon as a drug test and background passes at my work. Not the best job out there money wise, definitely not the worst but super low stress.

    XPO in Tampa would take you on I'm pretty sure too. If you go to the Lakeland side I would be willing to bet Bernie Little Budweiser would put you in a truck asap as long as they are hiring. Can you drive a 10spd?

    Bro stop this self pity nonsense. Everybody can give you all these cliche things to say. Its BS. You're up there near NYC. Of course they are going to want experienced drivers. It's no joke driving a big truck in those areas. If you want this so badly, this what you do.....go get the the hours you need for these companies and go get some experience. They are all telling you what you need to do. Get out your feelings and go handle this. Get those hours, hit the road for a year, then re apply to those companies. A year will come and go.

    He ain't that persistent. Being persistent means doing what you gotta do to get in position for better opportunities
