    Have you considered setting up an address in a "no state income tax" state?
    ~
    Escapees RV Club will set you up with a legal address in a tax free state; Florida, Texas, South Dakota and your CDL can have that address if you want. Used to also set people up with an address in Nevada; not sure if Nevada is still in their system. Any type vehicle resembling an RV is accepted. Not positive you even need an RV to become a member. One driver on here joined without an RV.

    Well now I certainly am considering it!


    The only downside I could think of would be possibly losing the tax free status on my house in Illinois. (veteran). This is something I will absolutely be looking into, thanks!

    I moved to Nevada from Tennessee. No tax free status on my house, but do get a veterans discount. I think I paid around $1800.00 last year in property tax. Houses are expensive here though. I bought mine during the last housing crash.
    I'm in Henderson/Las Vegas which is a big Air Force town. I'm former Navy.
    No state income tax and no food tax at the grocery store.
    You're in a good situation in life so several options to choose from.

    Having a military retirement and some VA money every month would sustain us in rural Illinois. We just want to really sock away a lot of money and do improvements to our property. We also want a power catamaran for our true retirement vessel.

    trucking seems like a great way to fund all that for the next 10 years.

    You can bank the most money, the fastest, with Old Dominion Freight Line or YRC/Yellow.

    You are a wealth of knowledge!

    Are you recommending theses two strictly based on team pay?

    Solo or team. Linehaul, not city driving.

    Covenant transport will actually put both of you in the truck with what they refer to as a master trainer, the three of you will spend approx 30 days training and then you'll be a team operation.

    Funny to see them having a growth spurt this late in their game. I remember when both companies that comprise YRC almost went extinct.
