    Its nit just "where its expensive" I just know im not gonna be happy out in the middle of nowhere, and the only remotely "cheap" place in the US id be willing to live is Cheyenne Wyoming, most of my other options are near cities like Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, SLC, Vegas, Seattle, St Louis, I have certain things I look for and things I wanna be able to do on time off because obviously sitting in a house staring at the wall aint it

    It would just feel dumb moving to a place i won't be happy just because its "cheap" even with as bad as my situation is right now

    Yeah I could probably get a small place in the cornfields of Nebraska dirt cheap but would I be happy? Probably not, id be the resentful old dude on the porch waving a shotgun at everyone because hes pissed off at life

    Gotta take mental health into account, what's the point of life with 0 happiness

    I guess all us old timers are lucky to be still alive. All we had was a road atlas and get this, no cell phone either! and we ran 48 states.
    And you were lucky if you had power steering!

    Ive used a road atlas before and use it but still hate how confusing the northeast is

    And honestly dont be suprised I have little experience with anything except mostly 2019+ trucks with the exception of my friends Oshkosh M1070 and his M35 with a 5 speed manual (which i can barely drive) even those have power steering

    Take it for what it's worth but I think you have complained and demanded yourself out of a career in trucking, unless you go with a 2nd chance company.
    And I'm done.

    Far from it but judge harder, no serious issues and I have very few requirements for a job, no accidents and I go down to 1 ticket in about a month because it falls off, yall are doom and gloom because I wont work for free and have a ticket, its absolutely insane level of hate

    The fact that no company will take you is telling of everything... I mean even swift and cr England hire straight bozos and you can't even get on there

    I guess 1 ticket is doom to my CDL, guess I should just cut it up then, garuntee theres hundreds of drivers on this site alone with more tickets than me and accidents, its already well known i live in an area thats scarce on hiring unless I go work for some local garbage like sysco, US Foods or mclane

    Its clearly not a me problem because I can bet at least a few people who have commented even have worse situation than me and probably not working a second chance company

    2 tickets (about to be 1) is definitely not enough to be a career ender
