    I am a recently acquired CDL Class A Driver am based out of Tampa Bay Fl.
    I am looking to start driving and am looking to drive for a company that pays new drivers decently with no experience, longevity won't be an issue as I am going to become an O/O quickly, I just would like decent pay while getting experience under my belt. Home time is not an issue as long as i can get a few days a month I am fine.

    Ahhh man I wasn't sure. I lived in Lakeland, FL when I first started driving and went with Werner ENT. Not gonna recommend them though because if you're not into long term, with Dry Vans you get 5 short runs before 1 long one with a Mega Carrier.(Hard to make money) I'd try to find a reefer outfit.

    Pretty much just like in any starter company 500-600 a week first couple month . then 700-900 . Depend on your willines to bust your butt. After 1 year you will quit and will find something better.
