Call the recruiting department and ask, they can tell you.
Thank you for reading my question . I may need to clarify my question. How would I find out what companies are around there? I currently loibe in Pa.
Live in Pa. Sorry fat fingers lil buttons
Seriously you're probably best off searching on maybe Google Maps for trucking companies in your area. They'll have listings with addresses plotted on the map.
We have an excellent listing of Truck Driving Jobs which will tell you what companies hire in your area, but not whether or not they have a terminal there.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
Schneider has a dry box satellite yard in orlando.
Thank both for you input I didn't think about Google maps and I'll look into Schneider
Lakeland is also pretty close to Tampa, so you may want to look here as well.
Thanks Ralph breast idea I need to look at a map and decide how far willing to go. Don't wanna have dead time getting to loads if I'm in a dead zone like several hundred miles from pick up if that masked send or it sometimes common? If so are those mile paid or only paid with loads?

Werner Enterprises has a terminal in Lakeland as well. Swift is out of Ocala. I live in DeLand, in between Daytona and Orlando, and also haven't come up with a ton. FFE has a terminal in Winter Park which is just outside of Orlando so that's probably your closest one. Lakeland is only about 30 minutes from downtown so don't rule that out either. Tampa is only about 45 minutes to an hr so any terminals in those areas really would be perfect anyway.
