    Living close to a terminal can be good and bad, especially if you have a place to park at home as most companies will want you to park at the terminal if your within so many miles. I used to live about 2 hours from the terminal, right at the cut off and I would have to park at the terminal and drive back and forth......plus my wife loss the use of our extra car, as it was parked at the terminal 2 hours away while I was out of town. One good thing.........I never spent down time waiting on the shop for regular service.

    If your concerned about home time, then living near a terminal is the way to go.
