    I-80 can get nasty in the wintertime! I looked around up there and decided to settle in Clark County, which is Las Vegas & Henderson.

    If it gets cold up there then I'll have to pass, I'd rather have the 90 degree heat of Florida than delivering a flatbed load in the 16 degree cold of Virginia lol. I'd want to move next to a city that have a lot jobs, especially tech jobs, I don't want to drive forever so I might switch to a different career later on when I settle down, after basically 9 months of driving OTR, I don't really like trucking that much lol.

    I only know of one tech company here in Las Vegas. I was asking my nephew about that last night. He just graduated with degrees in Computer Science and AI. I told him to try SpaceX.
