Question I am an O/O looking for a company in FL that I can lease onto pulling nursery stock. The only real lead I've found so far is MCT in Sanford. Thanks in advance.
Answer Hi Robert.
I use to drive for Amerson Nursery in Tera Ceia. He has only two company trucks, but uses O/O once in a while. Turner Tree in Palmetto/Bradenton might be a good place to look. There are a host of Nurseries on Pine Island outside of Ft Myers and if you've pulled trees, you know Homestead is ground zero. I would look up Nurseries on www.superpages.com and start calling around.
