    Hi
    I did LTL 2 years in Los Angeles and moved to Miami. I have a hard time in south Florida to deal with receivers and other stuff,Everything takes like 10x longer and people seem to not care at all. Is there other cities like that? What are the better ones?

    The South Florida 'tude. Might as well get used to it or move out of there.

    I've been in Central Florida my whole life, and I try very hard not to get lured into going down to South Florida.

    It's a different world down there. It's got a Northeast attitude type of feel to it.

    Warm climate area are more laid back. In general people are more relaxed in all aspects of life.
    One NY family moved to Florida and complained about people not dressing like they're going to a wedding while eating in restaurants.
    They said, "In New York we'd never wear cargo shorts to a restaurant."

    “Then, take your yankee arse back to New York” should’ve been the response.

    Perhaps the OP should consider Kentucky. I find the natives there to be slow and not very nimble.

    Yes, I can say without reservation, they’re very accommodating.

    Yeah
    Except
    They never make it all the way back

    in north Georgia we called em
    “Half backs”
    #### Yankees that moved to Florida and didn’t like it and then moved to north Georgia.

    north Georgia is kinda like the trap under
    Your kitchen sink that prevents the sewage odor from Coming out of the pipes …

    it prevents the Yankees from getting all the way back to New Jersey

    The south and the upper peninsula of Michigan are the same, laid back … “we’ll get to it in a minute” attitude except the yoopers minute may be two weeks.

    Even though Miami is chocked full of Caribbeans, Central & South Americans, it is best described as the southernmost borough of NYC. It's got the same stupid road layout but with more heat, humidity, and guns.
