Just to clarify, when you said "Intermodal", I was thinking ocean containers, not rail containers. I did a decent amount of THOSE in my last couple of years at old J.B., when all the containers and chassis were new.

Aqua Gulf on the NE side of Jax looks to have a decent thing going, nice equipment for company guys. Orlando is not a hot spot for that kind of freight, research Jax and the surrounding areas, much nicer place to live IMO, Callahan Yulee areas are quiet but still close to everything. Orlando is over run and over priced, life long resident myself and the shift in demographics just south of Ocala where I live, in just the last 2-4 years is very apparent.

Speed_Drums, Iamoverit and Lonesome Thank this. -
Buy a truck and work for the lowest rate you can.Sounds like a great plan.Why not just buy a truck sit it on fire and get a decent company job instead of buying a truck just to wear it out while not making enough to replace it.

Well good luck to you. I have no idea why you picked Orlando you might have stated earlier or just putting a finger on a map of Florida ,but I worked 10 years in Florida in the early 2000s and me personally Orlando Or Miami area are two places I would never live or want to be after dark.There a lot better choices.Maybe things in Orlando have changed.I would do more research if you just wanted a change of where you live now.But for most jobs in Florida companies didn’t pay great and the cost of living isn’t as cheap as some think.f Some think because Florida has no state tax it’s cheaper but you better believe they get there money other ways.Coolbreezin and warrior12345 Thank this.
