Do you know if many of those local truck driving companies in Orlando are doing like 10-14 hrs? I am making $26.50 currently.
What are some different local trucking companies in Florida that don't work more than 12 hours?

After you get that CDL-A.....apply to any/all of these that are within a 25 minute commute of your residence:
- McLane
- Performance Food Group
- Sysco
- U S Foods
- Cheney Brothers
- Gordon Food Service
- Ben E Keith
Some of these listed may also require you to also have a doubles-triples trailer endorsement.
You are also near a Dot Transportation warehouse (Ocala). Try to get a job in their warehouse -- then later work your way into their driver program:

I don't know about the pay, you'll have ask the companies.
Local Companies Hiring With No Experience? -
There is no list of companies in any city or state or region that works 8 hours, 10, hours, 12 hours, 14 hours. That is info you get by talking to drivers at individual trucking companies. Sorry, the world is not online-only. You cannot get the answer by calling trucking companies because the people answering phones or email don't even know what a truck is. They answer the phone/email all day. Some very few people in the building may accidentally know the DOT has a 11 hour drive clock and a 14 hour work clock, but that has little to do with your question. You need to talk with drivers at the companies and maybe 1% of truck drivers ever read or post on this forum, the biggest online truck driver forum, or the few hundred drivers on Reddit.

If you’re making $26.50 right now I hope you don’t expect to make better than that starting out in a truck. They may advertise better pay, but when you actually apply for the job they won’t pay that. That’s only if you have 30 years experience doing that very kind of work with a perfect record I guess. I have around 10 years with a good record and couldn’t find companies that would start me higher than that because I had hauled wood chips instead of flatbed or had no tanker experience etc.

Construction companies will usually have sane hours usually but don't expect banker's hours at any driving job.
