Everyone knows how bad it is coming out of Florida. I have so many flatbed and dry van buddies that claim they never have a problem because of relationships they have established with brokers. They get over $2-$5 a mile. I don’t. I use the Dat load board, or take Canada runs, but now, the Dat board is too crowded and the Canada loads very minimum and often gone quickly.
Any suggestions or brokers I can work with?

Owner operators are known for making stuff up or leaving out important details. For example, some of the folks who get paid a very high cpm are local and not running many miles per week.
One way to deal with Florida is to get a very high paying load going in. The other option is to deliver north of FL, so you can deadhead to GA for a load.
I remember an o/o from FL telling me that he avoids FL altogether, and when it’s time for home time, he just takes a plane to FL.bzinger, Farmerbob1, JonJon78 and 5 others Thank this. -

Trick to FL is take a short load out.. Don't try to take a load to WI, MI, the NE or Cali because they will try to pay you $1/mile the entire way.. You take the $1/mile to SC, NC, VA, GA or TN.. do a short hop then get a better paying load in those areas.. Never take a long run out of FL.. That or Deadhead to GA..
