    I dont know much about the megafleets...but your best bet might be a small "out and back" company. Davis might be another option, I see them all over Florida.

    I have been with Wiley since November. Came out of a CDL school with no experience. Earned average of $800/week during Wiley 10 week orientation.
    Equipment is old, currently driving 2000 KW with 1.5 Million on odometer but truck runs well. No hassle on idle time, great dispatcher. Governed at 70 so can make good time. They also have a lot of their own freight. No tolerance for anything illegal, very strict on logs and safety. Could be a lot...lot worse.
