Papa Pig, I'm glad to hear that, was nervous they might have said 'dollar account is all that's available based on your home area' or similar (knowing FL is more limited than other states for trucking opportunities).

Thanks Big Scott, for CFI, is their 25 day training phase run as a team or no? Training on stick or auto? OTR run out west much? You mentioned they have a terminal and a couple drop yards in FL. According to their site, they only have one drop yard in Jacksonville. Where is the terminal located?

Thank you Anne, not quite ready for that step yet but I appreciate the reference and will utilize one day.

CFI does. We have a terminal and a couple drop yards in Florida. They will train you for free.

Is CFI (Contract Freighters Inc.) not included in the trucking company reviews section of this site? (or did I completely miss them) Also, is their 25 day training phase run as a team or no? Training on stick or auto? OTR run out west much?

Hello, just curious is anyone knows off hand any carriers they'd recommend that offer paid CDL training that will hire out of central FL area (Tampa specifically). In the company research phase now and was most impressed with Roehl, but then found out they only hire from the Jacksonville area.

Roadmaster is here in town and I'd be willing to do private school, but it seems they are a Werner recruitment agency and I'd be nervous ending up in a Dollar Tree account burnout situation; want OTR. Seems like I have two options: Prime or Swift

Completely new to all this, can someone clarify if that is an automatic or manual; didn't think it could be both
