Walmart dedicated

Wow they got picky in the last decade. Walpole was running some up there. Based out of Okeechobee. Or Coke or Pepsi out of Gainesville.

Used to be a ton of home daily gigs in North Florida. They pay Florida wages but home daily.

 

I'm having trouble following what you stated. So you have 6 months experience? But that was 2 years ago.

Are you saying the dump bucket and other companies want 2-3 years OTR experience?

You may be a decent driver but with the above lapse in time since you drove last, you are basically considered a straight out of school rookie. Also if I'm reading this correctly 6 months experience won't get you anything but top shelf bottom feeder companies, which you probably won't want to work for anyways.

I would look into something local like Pepsi, coke, beer, possibly even some LTL companies

 

Publix?

 

They used to be 2 years experience.

 

It doesn't hurt to try, the way they have grown, plus the way the industry is now with this supposed driver shortage, all one can do is try.

At worst they can say no. I'm surprised that some of what used to be the most coveted drivers jobs are basically hiring newbies straight from CDL school, or with minimal to no experience.

 

Hmm, Publix says nothing about experience, but seem to be going the route of UPS brown, and only hiring from within now.

Ya that's kinda silly on their part. Missing out on quality drivers that don't want to take a huge pay cut to work a warehouse job
