Considering relocating to TX or KY

regional isn't home every day. Local is.

I just moved to southeast TX from WI. there is alot of logging here if you want to run a log truck pay seems to run from $140 to $195 per day but you will start at 4am and work untill 6pm or so usually 6 days a week.
If you have a tank and hazmat then you will never go hungry with all th e gas, crude oil hauling around here too. not sure of the pay as I don't want to pull a tank. Oh and along with the log hauling is allot of chip hauling. Don't expect to make what you do in MI but you don't need to, its cheap t live and there is no state income tax in TX. As an example I had a 120+ year old farmhouse in WI on 10 acres with a nice 45X80 pole building. I sold it for $250k I bought a double wide on 13 acres with a ton of valuable timber on it for $70k, my property taxes went from $5k in WI to $120 in TX.
Just one more thing. I lived in GA for awhile and I hated it, I don't think a day ever went buy that I wasn't reminded that I was a yankee, I'v never heard that here even once. You don't have the god ol boy still reliving the civil war here that you get in the southeast.
but then again you get to deal with allot of gun totin cowboys here! lol

 

i no a few places that run 100+ trucks full of gravel everyday

 

Ya buddy it was in the 70's up till christmass eve. now it's like 50's and 60... burr, getting cold!

 

whats wrong with gun toting cowboys?

come up and see mine or brickman's neck of the woods...lol

 

Im bailing out of Wisconsin for western TN! So long snow plows!!

 

Who is "we?"
Do you have any kids?

If anything hotlanta would be a good place to move if you are a trucker due to many, many companies having terminals there. (not such a good place to move because of traffic though)


i can't go anywhere due to family responsibilities (long story). But if it weren't for that, believe it or not, the northwest, i feel, would be lucrative for a driver.
