Tobster317, thanks for confirming that my plan isn't so far fetched... I appreciate you!

Akkshole, Thank You! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment... Hopefully I'll have a smidge of that same luck with my first company, and gain valuable experience.

Not quite "I want it now"! Rather, the practicality of already having what I need, license wise to get started on a straight truck.

Akkshole, in answer to your question... I already have a CDL-B, so I can get into this now. Rather than having to go through getting a class A. Either paying for trucking school, or getting on with a company, with a year commitment. I see this as more practical.

Hey Tobster317, are you familiar with a company called Tempus Transport?? Not too much info on google.

Great advice, man I really appreciate it, will heed that!

Tobster317, I haven't forgotten, gaining experience is front, and center priority for me right now... Just hoping that my first company isn't too much of a dud! Thank you, I appreciate you!

Yeah, I got the same thing from google... The Lady I've been speaking with seems nice. I'm just looking for some experience, not necessarily a life long permanent home... Thank you, Mailer!

Thank You, Mailer, I really appreciate that vote of confidence... I plan to do just that. I've been in talks with someone from Tempus Transport, do you know anything about them?

Turtle, yeah, that's my biggest apprehension, the fact of sharing the space that amounts to a walk-in closet with a complete stranger, not to mention that I literally have to trust this person with my life while I sleep... I just need to get past that part, and keep my eye on the prize, of...

Thanks intimevan, that's the hardest part, for someone such as my self a total green horn... Finding that right situation to jump into...I expect that nothing will be perfect, and that it's going to be hit, and miss before I find the ideal situation... Appreciate the input, Thank You!

Great point Turtle... I'm looking to make the most I can as a beginner, who eventually wants to become an O/O. Honestly the ONLY reason I'm even considering a cargo van is due to the fact that I'd have the opportunity to work solo, as ALL the fleet owners that I've contacted thus far ONLY want...

Blizzard, I really appreciate you taking the time to break it down like that!

I appreciate you, I went online, and applied... Thank You!

Appreciate it Tobster317, I saw those and I've contacted them... Thank You

Thanks Geo, I'm in Fort Lauderdale... I appreciate the info.

I appreciate that Moot, thanks!

Thanks Ragman! I'm not giving up yet... Although, it's very discouraging, because I keep running into the same thing "Sorry we don't hire from that far south"... Hopefully I'll catch a break eventually.

Thanks for the information.. Unfortunately TST doesn't hire from my area, which is the wall I keep running into. Most companies I contact don't hire out of South Florida... I'll keep that in mind Turtle.

I'm new to expediting, I'm FedEx CC, and Panther approved. My first choice would be to drive a straight truck, but since I can't afford my own truck just yet, I'd have to dive teams... I'm not too crazy about sharing such a small space with a stranger, so I'm considering going with a fleet owner...
