    mitrucker can give you the scoop on what the Sharp Transit/Aldi gig is like. He worked for their Michigan location for a few years.

    It's not nearly as physical as your typical food service outfit.

    Would definitely be interested to hear about that.

    Haines city is also the way to go I believe. Rent prices for a whole 3br 2 bath house are close to a nice 1br 1 bath apartment near the Disney area.

    What are your expectations money wise? That would probably dictate what area is best, and what area has the best to offer. Anything in and around Orlando is really hectic, 27 north of Haines City is rough in the day, and the stretch of 4 in to the attractions and downtown is atrocious. Clermont is a good area as far as commuting, still pricey though. I live in Ocala, and it's not uncommon that quite a few people from this area, Marion/Citrus/Sumter counties commute to Orlando for work, we're kind of labeled bedroom communities for both Orlando and Tampa, as well as Gainesville.

    They do have line haul runs but most are nights and most times the senior drivers take the line haul runs because it is less work physically. The pay is a lot better though.
