National Flatbed Fleet Question

Been using this site for a lot of research, so want to say thank you for everyone's involvement on here and passing along a lot of info. Looking to get into trucking, specifically flatbed, right after the New Year so trying to educate myself as much as possible. Anyway, I looked up my home location on the Roehl site for current positions and it shows openings for Florida in the National Flatbed Fleet. And when I read the description, it had the following write up included:

"When you join this fleet, you'll be flown to one of our terminals in the Midwest, where you'll drive for three weeks and then you'll be flown back for your week of home time."

Here is my question...Is freight that slow for Florida that the company finds it is cheaper/necessary to fly me home every three weeks for my hometime instead of routing me somewhat close?

 

I was thinking that to begin with, but it just came across weird that they took the opportunity to write that up in the job description. And I know they are different divisions, but none of the others had that in their write up. I know I could possibly get an answer from a recruiter, but was just curious if anyone had heard anything about this without having to listen to the "script" that I always seem to get read to me when I have called.

 

I understand the "retirement state" deal. Luckily for me I am in the Northern portion, so there are more opportunities available in my area compared to the Southern portion. But its not like the state is dead. My office faces I-75 and watching traffic is the majority of my day! The flow of trucks heading North is just as much as South. And talking flatbed loads, haven't gotten my x-ray goggles in the mail yet to check the boxes rolling by.
