Best state for otr driver

I had the same thoughts before. It all depends on which state you cross into the most. I thought about Ohio as I am always passing through there plus it seems that is where all of the factories and warehouses are located. Though I do pass through St Louis a billion times when going to Chicago or Memphis, but I wouldn't want to live in that city/state.

 

Calif has alot of outbound frieght

 

Check those states which have major north/south, east/west interstates, preferably in the middle of the country. You may not stay with Prime for the long term, so I would not necessarily make my decision based upon their routing. I would also look at taxes. Some states have high income and property taxes.

 

Dallas suburbs. NO state income tax, low property taxes, low cost of living, and major freight lanes.

 

Yeah Texas is a great state except for endless road construction, scorching summer heat, and a billion illegal immigrants. I hardly go to Texas since the loads down there don't pay as much since everything is cheaper down south.

 

one thing i noticed about the megas

if you live east, they keep you west
if you live west, they keep you east

maybe moving in the center will help, maybe not
