I use to live in panama city. They have steel coming out of thhere. There is a place called E.B Pipe that flatbeds load at.

I dont remember the name of the place in Jacksonville, FL, but theres some steel wire mesh to be pulled out of there that pays ok and is ez to secure...

There is quite a bit of freight that comes out of Jacksonville. Insulation, containers, military, etc., But that is a long deadhead from Panama City. You also have steel coming out of Montgomery and Mobile. Most of the freight coming out of these areas doesn't pay that well. You can always haul some $0.90/mile freight out of Plant City. :P

I haul the A/C units from there and they have a good rate most of the time.Our agent there is real good about rates,alot better than the one we have at home in Kingston.Close to $2 p/m to me on most everything.
If you are hooked to a flat do not go any further South in Fla. then here or Jax. unless you get a high enough rate to d/h out of there.

Mudawg, are you leased to Mercer?

Yes I am again.I was there for a couple years then left to try out a deal that was offered locally that looked real good on paper,so now I'm back.They don't work for everyone,forever but,for now they work for me.
