    Im looking into the ic program and was trying to find out does Sni have florida loads specifically central and south florida? They dont have any listings on the job board for for l/p but I wanted to know if I have a shot at maybe persuading them into giving me a shot. Thanks in advanced.

    If they ever do have loads, they probably wouldn't pay much. Florida freight rates generally suck, and then you only get a percentage of that. (I know because I use to own my own truck and live in north FL, the only time I would come into the state was home time, and I would usually have to deadhead into GA or SC to get a decent rate. Sometimes my percentage out of FL freight would barely cover fuel costs. I was with Landstar, and by what I've read, it isn't that much different now)

    Jacksonville is pretty much their limit for home location, south of there forget about it.. you won't get accepted.
    They are very strict on this probably because Florida sucks that bad.
    Now if your drivers license says someplace else and you'd like to go to Florida it's a different story but you didn't hear that from me lol.

    Freight was so cheap that when I worked for Crete, they use to drop S. FL loads at the rail yard and ship it down, have the rail company deliver then ship the empty trailers back. It cost them less than sitting a driver days after delivery burning fuel while they looked for a load that they could afford to haul.
