    You can get ear buds or eyeglass frames that translate while you're talking to someone in Japan.

    I moved to New Hampshire and got a better paying job. My mortgage payment went from $420 to $1,250 so there’s that though lol. I love it here though.

    If I were suggesting to any driver of an area, I’d tell them Ohio. There are limitless opportunities for drivers and factory workers. All the OP needs to do is search, make contact, make the move.

    I boomeranged midwest > FL > midwest. I had no plans, coming back. I was steadily applying to jobs, while driving back, and living in motels, for a month. I’m not in my ideal situation, but, it has worked out.

    Oh please, you can't possibly think someone from S.Ga. is going to do an entire turn around and drive in Japan? Sorry, not one of your better suggestions, the cruise ship would be a better option,,,Japan, sheesh,:biggrin_25513:,I say, relocating is a total PITA, and to move to an entirely different state or country, for a couple bucks doesn't make much sense. It will be the same thing, different shovel. Seems to me, pay is pretty standardized no matter where you go, and I always thought the SE was a busy place. If you can't find a decent job there, I doubt any other place is any better. IDK, scam the elderly or some new phone cover, but to try and get ahead in trucking today seems futile.E
