    I wish, unfortunately, my wife has a job that unfortunately keeps her around borders! and she would never leave her family.

    LOL, trust me man, i know! you think I like WNY! I know eastern ohio and western PA is a decent spot for jobs, and the taxes are way lower than NY. not only are the taxes higher up here, but the wages are depressed, I know most companies around here that are not union pay a dollar or 2 less here in buffalo, than other places in the country. what a slap in the face, ya know?

    let me tell ya.........local gigs are not all that great either, yup, u home every night, but you'll usually get more rest staying in the truck, travel time and fuel just back and forth adds up, you'll do more time local sometimes and for alot less money, only thing i liked about local was no matter what i was doin, i still made a measley 14 buks a hour, ie; stuck in traffic, shippers screwin ya ect ect, least ya know ya gettin somethin for your time

    sorry but i dont agree with that, i like to be home frequently, and i sleep better in my bed with my wife, not in the truck, and i have family to take care of it, i've spend to much time OTR in the past and thats not good at all, i know that working local and some regional i can make good money, plus i live 15 minutes from the company......




    !!! if u have family and kids stay regional or local not OTR!!
