    I will just get down to it. I am a driver 18 months experience doing s mixture of reefer, dry van, and flat bed. I am looking for a company out of Florida that will let you run papers logs, or I am looking for a OTR car hauling job. I have no experience in car hauling but I am a fast learner and I am willing to work hard. I will be grateful for any suggestions, thank you!

    how far south in Florida is an important part.

    some companies don't like to hire too far south as they don't run freight there.

    Central Florida, Highlands county. Under pilk county, above Okeechobee county. I'm just tired of the craziness. I don't mind staying out 21 days. I get on with a local company making good money for the first month. Then we start doing local only Florida loads, and we get paid by the mile, so we can barely get any miles. So I was making 1,600 a week before taxes, now I am making 1,000 a week before taxes. I just don't like the switching up, they say it's March, April till we start doing otr again. I just want to work, and work hard.

    He can create his own with a truck engine under 2000, but I guess there is an entitled notion of sitting on two chairs at once.

    To the OP.. people usually move where money is, just a thought to consider.

    I thought I read somewhere that glider kit/gilders have been declared illegal.

    Not just a kit, truck as well. But yeah, those are illegal. What he was asking is running illegal, more likely to squeeze the most out of now days impossible.
