Not to be "argumentative", but as one who lives in FL....and drove for CFI, I can honestly say that after my time off at home.... I never waited long to get a load out of the state.
In truth, only on one occasion did I wait a day for a load. I normally got assigned a load within an hour or two of going on the board. Sometimes I was deadheaded out of the state to as far away as SC. Did I care? NO! I got paid the same empty or loaded. They could have deadheaded me to Maine, Minnesota, or California.... and it wouldn't have bothered me a bit.
I have seen more than just a few Red Racers in FL....more than in years past. So their freight base has to have improved there. If they don't have a load going out right away....its alot like being "anywhere". You use the time to reset, rest, shop...or whatever. Right? 8)
