    Even though the condo is underwater, he still needs a place to live. It might recover someday.
    Maybe he should become a company driver temporarily until things improve. I know 0/0's can't stand the thought of slumming it in a company truck, but it might save his condo.

    Estes is good for linehaul. I know some Nashville drivers that do linehaul for Estes and one of them said he makes in the $70K's.

    He hasn't been an O/O for a long time, companies are not paying #### in Las Vegas for truck drivers. They are a dime a dozen. And like I said above, he makes more working under the table then a company driver. Truck driving is the one job everyone turns to as a last resort seeing all those ads posted everywhere only to find out they make more as a Walmart greeter.

    Was just looking at the propertyVEGAS website and looks like some good deals in Chinatown section of Las Vegas. My sister-in-law bought a nice 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo there for $80K and it's in a very nice neighborhood. Lots of rentals there also. Last time I was cruising around there looking at the business part of Chinatown, noticed dozens of oriental massage parlors and had flashbacks from my Navy Daze. That area isn't sleazy looking either with lots of stores and restaurants mixed in.

    They all seem so happy!
    Every time I leave the house, the wife yells, "Don't forget your cell phone!"
    I think she has a tracking device in it.

    I lived in Goodlettsville which is Metro Nashville. Born & raised just north of Nashville.
    Moved to Las Vegas; no more freezing snow and ice for months every winter.
    I don't know about the hiring season for those companies; just apply to the ones you like and see what happens.
    Reddaway is also there, but from what I can find out, Old Dominion is best followed by Estes as far as linehaul goes.
    Other than those, A&R Logistics is my favorite.
