how do you work your home time... I just figured if there was not a terminal or drop yard in that area that's it would be a hassle getting home

If you live more than like 100mi (not sure about the distance) from P-Cola, you take your truck home.
Now, S FL is basically out of of the question for two reasons
1) Nowhere to park the truck
2) It will most likely be stolen anyway lol
Where are you looking to move?

hell, anywhere I have family lmao so I can just stay there and not be paying rent for an apartment that Im not using, i have family in central florida (and yeah no parking, when I went to do that drop for friday I got to orlando on wed evening, stayed at a pay to park lot but I was fine with it cause I was hanging with family so was worth it) and family in NY but either would seem like a hassle to try to get back to, not important on dates really, unless I had like a wedding or something to get to, like I do in august but I Know im just requesting to be in denver and Ill fly out from there since its easy to get back to colorado

LOL
You're better off living on your own in most any area of FL than sharing bills in C FL! One of the highest costs of living anywhere, not to mention a filthy, tourist ridden dump!. If you're single, and enjoy driving why do you need a place at all? Sell all your stuff and/or put things in storage, live in the truck, take your hometime wherever you want, ande call it a day. In 5 years time, you could easily save $150k+.
The two single biggest monthly expenses anyone has are housingand car payments. All you would have is a cell phone and food.

Any OTR driver who has a car with a payment should have their head examined

I've had mine examined; they didn't find anything. If you know what I mean.

hell I dont mind getting rid of the apartment, my thing was if I needed an address to give to may, and hell I would need an address anyway which I could just get a po box if anything but wasnt sure if the company NEEDED an address in their hiring area. i still have a few months on this lease but yeah, single, no kids, no car payment... my bills are my phone, internet, rent and which i just found out my utilities which in colorado in older apartment complexes they just take the whole buildings utilities and split it between the people who live there so IM paying for water and crap that everyone else in the #### building is using and im not even there

NO income tax in FL.
If you have fmaily there, I don't understand why you haven't already 'moved to FL' with a change of address (change your cell phone bill there for sure) and then get a FL CDL...
You don't have to wait until your lease expires?!!?
