I know they hire new grads, most of the work they do out of Lakeland is local. I'm not sure if they're looking for local drivers right now? I should be heading into the terminal in the next few days, I'll ask if they're looking for local drivers.
Update on the Pepsi job i went for in Tampa

While living in New Jersey, with zero driving experience.
Why would any local company waste their time.
You've got nothing to offer yet.
No experience,
Your from another state,
And they got drivers with experience who live 20
Minutes away from them.
Either load up and move to Florida and change
Your drivers license over, or get a OTR job with
A company that's based in Florida.
Make some money, get some experience,
Get settled in.
Then while you home for time off apply to those
Local jobs. -
I also successfully got my first driving job the same way. Applied to a few different local jobs in another state, drove down and did a few interviews, got hired on the spot at US Foods.Jmelendez1223 Thanks this. -

So what’s the reason for not doing a local gig in NJ ? Did your current job pay well enough for you to stay away from CDL life in NJ. Most other areas will kill to have a Northeast driver who’s driven the Northeast with not at fault accidents and clean records especially since it’s tight NYC/Philly/DC/Boston. Congrats on the Pepsi job

get a job on your own merits and accomplishments, and just do not depend on "word of mouth help"...
don't matter if one is many years experienced or fresh out of school, do it on your own, and owe NO ONE nuffin.
better luck to you next time, and DO NOT BE so dependent on others. this should be a lesson learnt.Sirscrapntruckalot and Jmelendez1223 Thank this.
