    Bold claim. Do you mind me asking how many safe miles you have and what school you went to that taught you so well. There are some guys that sure could use recommendations on a school that actually teaches you because most of them appear to be bull ####.

    I've lived in Florida and like it there; good weather and no state income taxes.
    I stick to the "no income tax" states.
    Keep trying, but if necessary, try a company cdl school.
    Stevens Transport also trains in Tampa.
    Our Tampa Driver Training Location
    Tampa Truck Driving School

    Our approved partner, Tampa Truck Driving School, starts a new training class every Monday. Classes are held Monday through Friday, and new drivers get a total of 165 hours of training time. After completing the program and obtaining your CDL, Stevens will pay for your transportation to our Headquarters in Dallas, Texas to attend orientation. All drivers are required to attend new hire orientation.

    Just want to add a personal experience with Tampa truck driving school. I needed to get my CDL again so went there to check them out and it was full of the scum of east Tampa, trucks were garbage old Stevens trucks that they were done with, and you can't get a straight answer on auto or manual... depends on what day you call. If you want a CDL drive to Lakeland and go work for Bernie Little Budweiser. $1295 taken out of your check $25/wk and then if you stick it out for a year they give you the $1295 back. Brand New t680s too.

    Without knowing why you are struggling it's hard to offer advice.

    Me I set up with about 5 to 7 feet between me and the object yo my right with my tandems about 10 feet beyond the corner of the hole.

    I give the steers about 1 full turn to the left and start going backwards. Once the trailer is about 10-15 degrees to the hole I center my steers, and at 15-20 I get the tractor in front on the trailer.

    Once the dot bumper is about halfway into the spot I turn the steers about one turn to the right, as the trailer starts turning in I center the steers, just before the trailer is straight I get the tractor in front of the trailer.

    No I work for Coke. I almost went to work for the Bud distributor tho, it did sound like a pretty good gig. I think it was like $1200ish a week for four twelve hour days. It honestly looked like a nice place with super nice equipment. I just make more at coke and it's closer to home for me.

    Move to Brandon/Valrico it's in the middle of Tampa and Orlando so you can get to either but not have the butfukathon of traffic right outside your door. That puts you in the range of a TON of local jobs between east Tampa/Lakeland/plant City
