    Hubby is in CDL school now. Curious what states have the most and/or best trucking jobs? We currently live in the Atlanta area but were wondering if other states would have better job prospects. Thanks y'all!

    If your already in Atlanta your in a great place. North Carolina and South Carolina are good alternatives. Go North,think SNOW. Go South think HEAT. Find a happy Medium.Good Luck and keep us up to date as to where you end up.:druid:

    Port cities, those along major interstates, especially near a port. These would be the places that I would look into first, if I was to relocate.
    Fortunately I live near a port, with a couple major interstates within spitting distance.

    NO kidding. I travel to Minneapolis on weekends, and haven't seen this little snow, ever.

    Tennessee. You've got I-40, I-55, I-24, and I-75. Nashville is beautiful country...with all the comforts of Atlanta and less traffic/crime.

    Never met a dispatcher too unhappy about me living in Illinois.

    Load boards look fairly healthy too.
