    I don't blame you for wanting to move out of cali. When your truckin you will see alot of places where you might want to put down roots.

    Yeah, getting out of Cali is a huge motivation for The Wife and I.
    This place is just getting really ridiculous. We're looking at either Florida, my home state, or Tennessee. Mrs. hidden1 wants Tennessee. She'll probably win :p
     
    rachi and reeferwrencher Thank this.

    I have travelled TN from east to west on a number of occasions over the last year. Beautiful place. My Company's main office is in Mountain City. Johnson City/ Bristol area. I have also spent a limited amount of time going through more "rural" areas. It appears you can get 20-30 miles away from some of the bigger cities and find some fairly affordable homes/ real estate. I vote with Mrs hidden1

    Yes, Tennessee is nice. My wife is from there. Lots of Trucking in the Nashville area. I'm pretty sure Swift has a yard around there.

    I learned some things..
    1 My farts do stink. Hard to blame anyone when its just you.
    2 People are stupid, a person can be just as stupid.
    3 Shipping & receiving offices are training grounds for DMV employees

    Changed behaviors outside the truck..
    1. Try to shift my wife's automatic car
    2. Still take 30 min breaks in a fuel isle
    3. Roller dogs make me queasy.
     
    pagan22, hidden1 and buddyd157 Thank this.
