    There are some decent loads in Texas even Florida. U just gotta be willing to work that area for a couple of days an make a chunk of money running local stuff THEN bounce out of there.
    I took a load out of ga to Miami paying 2.33 a mile an I knew it was gonna be dead coming out so I stayed in Miami for 4 days doing local $3mile stuff until I made some good money an dh'd up to Jacksonville an grabbed a cheap load to get me home in Alabama

    I came on May 18 I was approved in......... Early April so it took a month for me



    Just to let you know that wait times got more worse after I started. I guess Great Dane was backed on orders. Everybody and their mom were buying flats to help salvage their business.

    Lol. I never turn down loads Going to south Florida if I know there's local port work there. That twic card pays for itself a thousand times over lol!!...I have even took a 34 down in the keys. Rented a car an relaxed for the weekend an jumped on the sea containers Monday morning running 2-3 of em a day paying anywhere between 3-600 bucks. Longest trip maybe have been 150 miles from port.
    Those over width air craft parts pay 8-9 bucks a mile running maybe a 100 miles out.
