    I don't mind it when I'm manipulating myself.

    Well I took the plunge...got an SFI truck and have been on the road for a few weeks now.

    I can now answer my previous questions from my limited experience, in case anyone is interested.

    1) GB to SLC to get my stuff wouldn't have worked well. I took Opus's advice and shipped my junk. It cost me over $600 to ship, but it would likely have cost a lot more to try driving there, plus I'd have had a $150/month storage unit bill until I made it.

    2) Michigan - getting anywhere/everywhere there has been simple...I've seen several relatives and friends there, all while under decent loads.

    3) Colorado - forget about it.

    4) Baltimore, Maryland area - has been difficult. I think I'll get there from time to time but it won't likley be easy to plan on it. Getting to/through Hagerstown is easy but further east isn't. I had one delivery in Curtis Bay south of Balto (hope to not go to that location again) but my next trip didn't let me hang around.

    5) Pittsburgh - easy....have driven through there a lot. Found a closed down Gander Mountain right off the 'pike with a giant parking lot and no one in it. (Just have to run over a few people to get in and out of it....tight little corner)

    6) Florida - forget it.

    all that is pretty easy to figure out after you have been in it a couple of weeks ... about the fold in the map in pa. down to I 20 over to texas and up to Minnesota has been the best paying loads for the last 35 years actually just the Midwest is fine ... ohio Michigan Indiana Iowa and Illinois
