    I actually just came across this company earlier today. Another good option.

    I look out my window here in Nevada and see people right now wearing Bermuda shorts and Tee-shirts walking the neighborhood. I'm in Henderson/Las Vegas and it hasn't been cold enough here to need winter clothing. A light jacket on the worst days.

    lol, yes another option. Honestly I tend to forget about South Dakota. I think it is the only state in America that I have never made a trip to it. I have driven across it but never went there for anything.

    Yes, but not sure if they run all over the country or not. Maybe a Swift driver will chime in.

    Another question I have is why does the trucking industry not adopt 360 degree view camera systems. Seems like they would be a great safety feature, is it simply a matter of the upfront cost?

    My guess is its less upfront cost, more maintenance. Get out on the road for a bit and you'll see how difficult it would be.

    That said, ive been thinking of running a cheapo camera on the tail of my cab (im a flatbed) or maybe the trailer. But i own the truck and im the only one that hauls the skateboard

    Is there any advantage to getting a CDL from one state vs another?.
