Too soon to change companies?

No, that's a 1960 Pete, it was used in the movie "Dual", with Dennis Weaver.

CRST will hire your husband and let him train you. They will pay for your CDL school.

Look at Comcar website for more Florida companies.

Flatbed is not hard work; it just looks that way. As for tarping, the shipper & receiver puts the tarps on top of the load; your husband just unrolls the tarp and secures it with rubber bungees. Plus, it usually pays about $40.00 to the driver.

Check with Willis Shaw Express about rider policy.

Your husband should get the tanker hazmat endorsements. That's the best route to making a good living. Most OTR tanker drivers make avg. $65K annually. He can do the same with local, depending on the chemicals he hauls. I was OTR tanker/hazmat & some of the local drivers hauling fuel, etc. made more than I did; I just preferred OTR.

Check Indeed and Careerbuilder websites and you'll see lots of tanker jobs available in Florida.

 

Just don't quit, THEN look for the next job. Also, from stories I've heard, don't be completely shocked if Werner does something childish when you put in your 2 weeks (like ask you to return the truck ASAP). Just make sure you get the instructions and where to turn the truck in in writing and follow them. If they tell you to leave it anywhere other than a terminal, make sure you won't get screwed later. If they call it truck abandonment, your husband is going to have a HARD time finding another job (abandonment is the big bad no-no for when you wanna seal the deal and make sure you never get another driving job again).
