Boondock.. I assume you're talking about Davis Express (and not Transfer) out of Starke, FL?
What I know is, they do southeast, reefer , and pay well. My other half has quite a few friends there. My understanding is they only hire experienced drivers. Has that changed?
Reefer:
A refrigerated trailer.
Yes the Davis Express in Starke is correct. They do hire new graduates but has to be from an approved school which they list all the approved ones on their website. Mine happens to be on the approved list.
