West vs East - Which do you prefer driving in?

I used to run three trips a week between Evanston, WY and Brighton, CO. The only time we didn't go was when they closed the gates on us. I'd take an Elk Mountain blizzard any day over narrow lanes and eastern city traffic.

 

Then they get stuck in ATL because one snowflake falls and they shut the whole city down. Then they are stuck on I-285 with 10,000 other cars getting robbed. Stuck for 3 days. Then there we are out west biggest worry is which TS to park at because always plenty of space.

 

I always thought the girls in Atlanta were really friendly though.

 

I live near philly i hope i get west runs but from what i hear the company i want to start with Roehl stays in the east alot.

 

I could be wrong but I think Pride Transport hires out of PA. They are based in SLC.

 

A few years back.. I was thinking about May.. Until i saw a complete load of small boxes.. ( like you buy at the store) of spaghetti noodles on the floor.. The driver was going at it unloading.. Thought.. Well Mays out..

 

West, any day. I will take LA traffic over the Northeast cluster#### any day. I-5 corridor and western Canada all day every day.

 

Obviously Anti-Pasta

 

Love doing the east for the challenge of it. Everything is much tighter. Docks, Roads, time frames. The problem is most CPM companies don't pay near enough for the challenge; a cent or two don't cut it.

That leaves the west and midwest. While the winter might be a challenge for a newbie, it is nothing special for us that have been out their. Getting a load out of the mid-west can be tough at times, but more miles can be made.
