    uh if you live by Memphis why are you going to Phoenix to get a truck?
    It's not difficult... just pay for the fuel and drive this way lol.
    In all seriousness you'd probably have to go to Colorado and then take something cheap east headed out of there.
    Or go to Texas but it's difficult to get out of the Texas/OK market so I've seen and heard.

    It's not cheap.. Verizon is more expensive than everybody for data. I only used them because I get service everywhere.
    Just 10 GB is $80 a month.

    There's a mobile app to book freight off a cell phone but I think it sucks

    The only reason the fuel prices are high in PA is the $.64/ gal fuel tax. subtract that from the price and PA fuel is actually pretty cheap.

    The only thing that isn't taken from the settlement the first 2 weeks are the truck and managed maintenance that SFI takes out.

    All the rest insurance,plates,permits, fuel,escrow etc. is still deducted.
