    Just curious which you prefer driving in? I think we all agree the Midwest is great for straight roads and high miles. Never been to the East coast and deciding whether to accept a job with a company out that way. I'd see minimum home time of course but that's not an issue.

    I prefer the west, but I get more miles in the east.

    I prefer a 50/50 mix. Abilene M X will get you plenty of western miles, too from what I see of their presence in the west.
