I recently lost my career, looking into trucking, don't have a CDL A been looking a company sponsorship programs but what I really want to drive is Straight trucks or Sprinter van but I can not seem to find a expedited service company to sponsor or hire new drivers.

Do you currently drive for them and if you do can I put your driver number down?

Why don't you want to get your A?
I can't afford to get my A right now, can't afford three or four weeks of no pay.
Please don't take this the wrong way, if your statement is accurate, then you cant afford to be expediting for a living.

3 or 4 weeks without pay to get your CDL is going to hurt, but driving a cargo van will result in many more weeks without pay. If you already owned a vehicle to be used for expedite, you might be able to make it worth your while, but driving for someone else is going to be really bad right now.
I noticed you are from Florida also, which makes it even worse, when I was expediting I would rarely get loads from here, would have to deadhead north. And most times when there was a reason to be home at a specific time, I would have to deadhead home.

Seriously....register with your state's employment service and find a job. There are private for-hire companies like Manpower and others as well.
