    I currently live in Sarasota, FL without being able to find a local driving job with more than 20 hours a week Ive been searching for an OTR company...problem is most wont hire this far south (60miles south of tampa) and...I got a battery charge last year for defending my friends mom from getting beat up...so as Im sure your thinking "that wont help you either" my question is...does anyone know of a company that would be willing to work with me on this? Ive been unemployed almost 3 weeks now and risk losing everything and I just dont know what to do anymore...if anyone has any information at all I would greatly appreciate your help!!

    Would you consider driving a dump truck?

    That's what I do and I really enjoy it. The money won't make you rich, but it's a solid job and it's local.
