    If I am "reading" your "hand" (like poker) correctly, you are without outside obligations. Right?

    If that's true, then you are wide open to relocate wherever you want. Choose a state with no income tax. Set up a mailbox address. Transfer your CDL. Get an OTR gig.

    If you have STUFF that needs to go into storage, consider donating it to charitable causes.

    Bottom line, if you go OTR, try to bank most of your paycheck for at least two years. You will be amazed how quickly you will become cash rich.

    Start looking for a plan B as soon as you start plan A. Want to become an owner operator? Start researching now. Want to simply stay company driver and buy a house? You may well be able to do that within a few years, with minimal payments and a hefty down payment.

    Have a plan.

    Work the plan.

    Move to Nashville, then you and @tscottme can go night clubbin' down on Lower Broad Street slummin' it with the tourists. Before I married had 4 waitresses from the Wild Horse Saloon living in my apartment, rent free, with me. No, they weren't all my girlfriends, only one of them, but it was interesting situation to say the least. No men allowed in my apartment, except me, was the rule. What they did outside of that was none of my business and I didn't ask and didn't care. Actually, they were really good company and very relaxed there.
