    Coast to coast teams can make real good money.
    Being paid while you sleep is a great benefit also.

    Couldn't have routed myself any better..love the South West..then the northwest..running 395 rather than I5..Missoula Montana has the prettiest girls on the planet..nearly every female at the town pump was smoking hot.
    Montana and Wyoming are freaking beautiful.
    After Kansas City I'm heading back down to Laredo through broken bow Oklahoma..best freaking scenery ever..in one week..gotta love trucking!

    Back in the day there was a bar in Missoula called the Log Cabin, (I think), and it was a top scouting spot for Playboy magazine.

    I used to haul particle board out of the area and I broke down a few times in Missoula, a few times in Billings and Great Falls too, even broke down in Helena once.

    Montana was a great place for breakdowns, but I've seen better places.
    Rochester MN for one, back in the day when the eligible female to male population was eleven to one.
    You had to be a serious loser if you couldn't find a date in that town!

    Lol really? Rochester?

    Hey they probably all got Mayo Clinic money too.

    Rochester isn’t a bad town at all. I just never knew it was known for the women.

    A long time ago when I worked for International Transport who the had their head office there, Rochester was a mecca.
    The head office for IBM was there, Green Giant had a processing plant and offices, there were other corporate offices there, lots of restaurants and hotels, the Mayo Clinic was just a small part of that.

    I walked into a drug store in the downtown area on a Sunday evening to pick up tooth paste and razor blades and while I was standing at the magazine rack reading a car book I got picked up by a really healthy looking lady who worked in a massage parlour!

    Rochester is known for another Reason. A deaf Upper University designed to build technology People.

    I'll leave off the rest of the Rochester town, the people there were pretty good for the most part, awesome for some and somewhat cranky for others. Used to be a older diner there for a bite to and from. It burned.

    Isn't that Rochester, NY where a large percentage of the city is deaf people? He's talking about the one in Minnesota.
