    If I find out you're withholding information... I'll be forced to erase you.

    If I would tell you how great it is here, then everybody would come and out bid me. But really I'm more PNW and not west coast. I definitely see myself moving more south in 5 years or so. Nevada,Arizona,Texas, ect. Running in the snow every year seems like it can get old.

    I was looking at moving to Phoenix or Dallas myself. Dallas is extremely expensive compared to Phoenix.

    Nevada is no guarantee to stay out of snow lol, believe me, I lived in Reno for twenty years, now Arizona on the other hand, man it's great down here, been here 3 years now and only chained once so far, had to hang a set of singles on the drives to get across I 40 between Albuquerque and Flagstaff, ### end of tractor kept breaking loose, but barefooted the trailers, see you guys alot on the I 10 down here, good easy going running on I 10.

    Exactly, I have had the good fortune so far not to hit snow on it yet, but I don't have to go that way that often, only when I get a ABQ run out of PHX.

    I tried to convince my in laws to retire in AZ or NM but they chose The snow up here in the inland northwest. I’m not doing linehaul up here cruising to Montana every night this time of year. No thanks. I’ll stay local.
