Profile For Gabriel R.

The biggest help we can give you is the truth.

The reality is that freight comes into Florida, not out. You have a license that says you can drive a commercial vehicle, but no experience and are therefore a risk to most companies.

You also have demands that are very unlikely to be met. Most companies will want you to have at least 6 months of otr experience. The companies that will give you that experience will train you, and the load will dictate when you work.

The freight market is extremely damaged and will be for a long time to come. Choices are limited for companies, especially in FL.

Doing local requires experience. It's tough backing in areas with limited room, it requires well honed skills, which a recent grad doesn't posses yet.

There may be some dock to driver programs available if you really want to do local. Regional will almost definitely consist of going out of state. I'd highly recommend you pass on any dollar store type accounts as they are career killers if you're unskilled.

Apply For Truck Driving Jobs

Will let you apply to multiple jobs.

Good luck.

Thank you for your detailed response. I will try and get into a food service job as mentioned by the person before.

Just one question. What do you mean by dollar store accounts?

Thank you for your reply. I would prefer not to sign a contract to work for a year. I know these things can get sticky in all sorts of ways, so I'm not really interested in getting into something like that unless I have proper guidance.

I am still hoping someone on the forum can hook me up.

I only want to work during the daytime. No out of state routes. Local or regional only.

Help me out! I'm almost back in Miami from Peru!

Hi y'all. I just finished my 320 hour school at Miami lakes educational center. I'm in Peru until August 13th. Looking for my first job driving a local route or regional. Anything helps. Thanks.
