Do you make more money running west coast states in otr?

I like 80 and 70 west of Illinois. And it pays fairly well in the winter. I haul a lot of ag equipment out there in the winters.

 

West is iffy to me. East I'm kind of forced to deal with since from Maine I need to go though it all

 

Put on a cowboy hat and move to New Mexico.

 

eh I enjoy the wildlife around here

 

I can understand enjoying the local landscape.

I like my trees and mountains, Force me to stay in the desert and I get miserable in a hurry.

 

I used to love running out west. I wish my company ran out there. It's beautiful, it's easy, it's a lot of character out there. Riding those steep mountains will make a driver out of you

 

Go west young man go west.

 

How you deal with that heat though and don't you miss the seasons, Appalachians and streams?

 

I can't go much further west. If I did, I'd get my feet wet.

In answer to the OP, I never drove anywhere but the west. I've always made a good living out here.
The only exposure I get to driving back east is on this forum and from what I've read I think I'm better off.

 

The humidity is very low, so heat isn't a problem at all. I see people exercising here, doing brisk walks, jogging, etc. and barely breaking a sweat. I had heard about that before moving here, but had my doubts, until witnessing it.
