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.

Good luck!
