    There is a lot of work in FL but I run out of FL quick as I can. Too many "locals" down here to make good money.

    Ask anyone, freight coming in, lucky to get any freight out unless fruit is in season. Right now, vehicles coming south, going north is tough, brokers know everyone is looking for anything so most cars are priced cheap. I've seen $.30-.40 for enclosed vehicles.......

    I'm new to the business as well. Been running for 3 months now. Started with a couple local runs in NY and then hauled to FL. Average car paid $700-850 going down but coming up was $300-400 at most. I stopped heading down there. I don't work for free. I have a 3 car Wedge/Dually set up so making as much as possible in BOTH directions is KEY! Florida can kiss my ##### lol
