    Where out of Florida?

    Could you specify a zip code, please?

    What endorsements do you have (if any)?

    The following quote is borrowed from another thread here on the Forum; inquire within each....for most current hiring areas, pet & rider policies:

    "There are several co's around Atlanta that run carpet west and produce back. You stay south, no E. coast. Quest is one of them , Kennesaw another. East West another."

    Dang, I'd love to live there. That's my goal if/when I leave Nevada.

    Melbourne, FL + Wanting dry van + Wanting west coast runs = tall order. Unless maybe you team with someone. #ReeferLife

    Melbourne is full, stay where you’re at :)

    Just kidding..
    Real estate prices have gone insane here and the population feels like it tripled since 2012 when I moved here.

    If you’re into apartment living there are literally thousands being built outside of my 1000 home development in West Melbourne.
     
    CalculatedRisk and Chinatown Thank this.

    I had zeroed in on a house in Viera. Now the prices have skyrocketed. Arguing with the wifey caused too much delay.
    She wanted to stay in Nevada or move to San Jose, California. No way I'd move to California.
