    I've been hearing about how slow Florida is for 30 + years. Funny thing is, I've never had a problem getting a decent paying load out of there.

    I think maybe it's guys pulling reefers, and dry vans that have problems getting decent paying loads out of Florida? And I'm sure that's just certain times of the year.

    For dry vans it's about 10 months out of the year that it's just not worth it to go to Florida. Unless your rate into Florida made it worthwhile.

    As far as a shortage of loads I've never seen one anywhere before. There's always plenty of loads. Sometimes there's a shortage of decent rates though.
