    I've heard FL is a hard state to get loads out of. How difficult do, you experienced Prime drivers, believe it will be to get hooked up with a trainer if your home location is Jacksonville, FL?

    Jacksonville shouldn't be bad as they can always send you up into GA to pickup or down by Tampa to pickup at Tropicana
     
    mtgmaker Thanks this.

    Yes I am lease but I didn't do it for the bigger truck as I was already in a full size truck when I went lease. Also I have no regrets going lease as I am making good money. However with that said as IP would say I don't recommend anyone do lease right out of the gate.

    As a prime driver who lives in Florida we do not have issues getting loads out. We haul tropicana, minute maid, bad beer out. There are floral and one phase cuticle . Plus the odd broker loads of tomatoes watermelon and if your lucky c antelopes from Port. (High pay) On the company side it's no big deal on the lease side the loads out pay poorly but the loads in are high so it levels out
     
    mtgmaker Thanks this.
