    FUNNY STUFF. I live in Indiana. We run 3 trucks and I feel I am in a good area. I wish rates were better but, as far as freight I feel Indiana is a good state.

    Being located in a state with no state income tax seems like it would have it's advantages,..............

    Most paperwork is Federal, Indiana has cheap registration. About 11 states have no state income tax. Nevada, Texas and others. Do not even consider Calif.

    Indiana is also pretty centrally located for the longhaul driver. If you live in Indiana and drive from coast to coast, you can actually take alot of your 34s at the house.
