    Kinda sorta. Thought maybe Chinatown would say something like, "Here's Sludge Express out of Podunkville, South Dakota tearing up the freight lanes of the Great Plains. Must have tanker endorsement and a bag of clothespins for your nose."
    Maybe they're not big enough to generate him an affiliate link to shill though.

    Also to answer your other question regarding TN. I don't plan to live there. I can live in the truck. No reason to go back there for anything. Overcrowded roads throughout the whole state anyway.

    You might wanna think about changing your address. So long as you have a Tennessee zip code on your paystub, you're gonna be mostly limited to jobs advertised in that zip code. I've heard a few drivers say their employers made exceptions for them, but they had to work there for a while.
     
    insipidtoast Thanks this.

    Ok Thanks for the tip. Keep in mind I changed my address to match a close of kin relative's house in TN a few years ago for this same reason. I figured every single company in the country would hire someone with a CDL showing a Nashville address.
     
    MSWS Thanks this.

    Actually come to think of it western 11 isn't all that great. Think of how long I-5 is and the speed limit, which doesn't improve much once you get beyond California. Probably best western experience would be some sort of tri-state deal with AZ, NM and Utah.

    If you can handle Denver and the occasional L.A., there might be something for that. I've seen jobs in the past that bounce around between Denver, SLC, Phoenix and L.A.. But they always required a home address out West.
