Moving To Another State?

My husband and I were considering driving as a team in the future. But we are also looking at relocating to another state. Can the state you live in negatively affect the number of loads drivers can get? More specifically, we were considering moving to Maine. I read somewhere that Maine had a shortage of drivers but I didn't know if that was mostly local and regional. Would living in the far Northeast be a good thing or a bad thing for an OTR team? We currently live in Missouri and we both hate this state with a passion.
