    Don''t move to Orlando. Unless that is where your girl is going to work. Pick Plant City area or Pasco County instead. Orlando is the highest cost of living place around. In the Tampa area you have a few LTL companies like Estes. Publix is in Lakeland. Tampa area has several local tanker companies, too. For the phosphate mines. But really there are no local trucking jobs in Orlando. You're really going to be looking more west towards Haines City and Winter Haven.

    Tanker would be interesting but I’ve been spoiled with autos since I got out of cdl school. Got my cdl in a manual but I would be super rusty.

    Oh yeah I know. Yeah she’s going to be working at Disney and wants to be close. We’re not set on an apartment yet so maybe we can get something in the middle.

    Do these companies do line haul or shuttle? Or would it be p&d? I’d have to get my doubles but that shouldn’t be a problem.

    Well Disney is not true Orlando. It's west. I'd look west of there for housing. Traffic won't be as bad and rent cheaper.

    If you don't have children; maybe get a studio apartment, just to start out with.

    This is a good website; you can search using price ranges you prefer, then go from there.

    Live in Haines City or between Disney and Haines City. Work for Sharp Transit delivering to the Aldi stores. DC is just south of Haines City.

    Then go to Landmark Baptist Church in Haines City.

    Thank me later.

    Definitely will check out Haines city. One apartment we looked at was nearly 1700-1800/mo for a 1br 1bath. Nice amenities though.
    Thank you everyone I really do appreciate the insight.

    Maybe 20 miles, but very congested traffic. We call I-4 "the Parking Lot".
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.
