Ive always heard that freight go's into Florida, but nothing comes out..?? Personaly, that is one State Ive never gone into. We have Crete drivers living there, and I know a guy from US Xpress living there, but I'm not sure exactly where... I would say get on with WERNER and put in some time, and ask around with others while gaining experience, you may find some companies that hire out of your area.. Good Luck to you
Bigarmin88 Thanks this. -
Since you have posted this same basic thread multiple times already, it shows me that you already have your mind made up that Werner is the place for you. People(including myself) have given you multiple alternatives and yet you say that nobody will hire you except Werner. Well sorry pal, but I know better. So...crap or jump off the toilet. Go to work for Werner already so you can come back on here and amuse us with your stories of how badly Werner sux.
Ldhenderson Thanks this. -
Since I live in FL, I have done my research for myself and others. I know the following companies hire in FL:
Crete
US Express
ATS
TMC
Paper Transport Inc.(requires 3yrs)
Heartland Express
Raven (requires experience)
McGriff (requires 1yr OTR)
Davis Express (requires 2yrs)
Roehl
McLane Distribution
Publix
Knight Transportation
Star Transport
Convenant
Celadon
Prime Inc
Werner
JB Hunt
Schneider
Southern Refridge
May Trucking Company
I do not know the hiring areas of these companies but I am sure they hire where you are. Get on with Werner and keep looking. Like the guy said, we have been offering you plenty of options.
KHgimmpy, strawberryrhubarbpie, Ldhenderson and 1 other person Thank this. -

I take it you live down by ft myers fl?...if i were you and you should no me by now,i would go look for local work doing anything you can and enjoy all florida has to offer.all the beuty,beaches and live a good life in florida.my own opinion of course.but over the road trucking is not all there is to do in life.you must have a skill,a niche something you can do to enjoy your time in florida.....have a nice day and by the way look on craigs list...here is the link.they have jobs there too...good luck...
