Starting with Henderson Trucking

Henderson was one of the only companies that had a sponsored cdl program and hired out of Florida.

 

There's others:
MCT Transportation
Prime Inc.
Western Express did, maybe school closed now.

 

I average the same amount of miles weather I stay out 3 weeks or 2 weeks. So I go home every 2 weeks

 

I am HT/prime. Just mpt at target in lake city, fl. I just refused to go 200 miles south to pick up juice load paying $.76. I said why don't I deadhead to Georgia for a higher paying load, since we know florida loads pay under a dollar.
Henderson needs to quit taking cheap freight that Primes pulls out of Florida.

 

Refusing the :heap load paid off. New load is $1.29 a mile at 1450 miles. Deliver by pay period cut off. Turning down loads works out sometimes. This is about best you can get out of Florida.

 

Yes I'm leased. Been with Henderson since November 2015.
I only turn down cheap stuff that's around $1 a mile. I have truck rent to pay and buy my own fuel. Last few weeks have not been good. Negative pay check or under $500. I told them if they give me too much cheap loads I will terminate lease and go company.

 

Swift has a school and hires out of Florida. Not sure if the Ocala terminal has a cdl program though.

Pretty sure Stevens hires out of FL has has a sponsored school in Tampa.

 

If your LEASE, the only way to make money is to train
