    If you're not under contract, might be a way to get started.

    @nextgentrucker --

    If you have not already tried them -- you might submit an application to Cypress Truck Lines:

    Florida Only CDL-A Company Drivers - Cypress Truck Lines

    -- OR --

    Southeast Regional CDL-A Company Drivers - Cypress Truck Lines

    Learning flatbed in Florida during the winter months might not be bad gig -- and would get you the CDL start-up experience you need.

    Not sure at this point whether they will hire you that far south in Florida -- but it's sure worth a try....

    If they do hire you -- try your best to stay there for AT LEAST A YEAR.

    Even longer is of course, better. Later on -- you'll be glad you did....:thumbup:

    Port Saint Lucie, FL, I think Armelini is hiring, but they might be hiring for team, plus you have to unload the freight...

    I did apply to them, but I haven't heard back yet and I don't want to reach out now because I'm still in school. I applied to most companies that I wanted to drive for on the list I have, some are not hiring in my area, and others say when I get my CDL to contact them. Here is the order: Magnum; not hiring in my area, Indian River Transport; needs at least 6 months of experience, May Trucking; Not hiring in my area, Werner; hiring team, Windy Hill Trans is hiring, US Xpress; hiring and told me to call back when I got my CDL. So after that, I stopped applying and waiting until I'm graduating to apply.
    I haven't tried them, their reviews scared me a little.

    Also, if you guys know other Food grade Tanker companie that's hiring recent CDL graduates in Florida that'd be great now that Indian River Transport is not an option anymore.
