    As much as I've hit PA I don't think I ever reached Minersville.
    There's $2+ freight all the time to PA from OH, IN, IL, WI, TN, MI, KY, NC SC, VA, WV but once you get to PA expect high fuel prices and good luck finding a way out not for cheap. (and by out I don't mean New England lol) I've done $3+ into PA multiple times on loads greater than 300 miles.. that's the only state I can say that about.

    I just pulled up a map.
    Right next to Minersville is Pottsville which I've been to once. There's a Wal-Mart DC there.

    Fw, I was wondering if you can answer a question for me. I am picking up my 2016 cascadia no money down out of Phoenix, Arizona in August. How difficult will it be for me to get ba ck to the Memphis area because most of the freight I will be hauling may come out of that area after home time since I live just 85 miles south off 78 down from love's truck stop.

    What your forgetting is not everybody does the choice lease strictly to make the most money.

    I do it for a combination of reasons with Home time being #1.

    Some may want the freedom and some want only money.

    I will say if you NEED 5k a week every week choice isn't the answer.

    I didn't forget that, I think you forgot in the 6 months I've been here I've taken off two months lol.
    I'm all for freedom, enjoying yourself and doing whatever you want.
    However I hate cheap freight and I was just pointing out that out west it's all cheap freight.
