New to this all!

"At times in town there’s far more Massachusetts tags than New Hampshire tags on the cars."
No sales tax in NH but there is in MA. I used to know someone up there and we, like a lot of other people, crossed the state line to shop. Needed new tires on the car, went to NH to save the sales tax.

 

I live quite a ways north of the state line, I think it’s mostly tourists up here. I actually like most the people from Mass that I meet. A lot of really nice families from there come up to ski and hike.

 

The trucking industry is not a place for dilatants. If you actually had experience, you could take temp placement, but I can assure you that nobody will want to pay to train a guy who just wants to occasionally "play truckdriver".
Grow up.

 

The OP made his post almost 2 weeks ago and hasn't been back on here since.

 

Isn't that the truth?

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.

 

All we have in South Dakota is sales tax (and property tax and vehicle registration and on and on) ... I get the gist of the post, but just FYI: it could be a lot worse here.
