Decent Florida trucking companies

Your pay cut is yet further evidence of the unfolding dismal freight market in general.

To circumvent this problem--you may well have to think "outside the box" (i.e., do something besides pull boxes).

You don't say what part of "Flawider" your from (and yes, that would help with the resulting advice A LOT), but aside from that......have you checked out this carrier (they're pretty busy, as I understand it):

Indian River Transport -- Lake Wales, FL

To drive for them -- a tanker endorsement is required; hazmat is not needed, but is encouraged.

There's a whole thread on them here in the Forum. It's a really good thread:

Indian River | Page 165 | TruckersReport.com Trucking Forum | #1 CDL Truck Driver Message Board (thetruckersreport.com)

If we know what city you are closest to in "Flawider"....we can maybe make recommendations that are perhaps more local.

There are tons of distribution centers, all over Lakeland. You wouldn’t have to deal with parking. Start searching that area, whether online or simply driving around, over there.

 

Marten Transport has a Tampa terminal and the pay structure looks good. No driver facing camera.

Being spooked by hazmat is like being spooked by your own shadow.

A lot of dry van loads are "hazmat".....simply because of everyday products like hairspray, charcoal, lighter fluid, and such. No big deal, really.

Without hazmat--you'll leave A LOT of money on the table over the course of your driving career.
