Good info, thanks. When you moved there originally, did you go straight to Clovis? -- I've contacted Indian River as they have a terminal in Clovis, and they can work with me, but they won't budge on the 2 year requirement.- so a no go at the moment.
Move west young man.....(a little long)

At Swift, with 40 terminals, each one having a contract with local hotels, I could have not only passed through 42 of the lower 48, but had time to explore some of these nice places we are talking about 2-3 days at a time for under $50 per night. Get paid to explore and decide where you want to live first hand? -
I moved from NV to New Mexico 3.5 years ago, don't regret it. Too hot in NV, if you want to do any work outside in the summer, it must be done before 9AM , later it's too hot.
As an OTR driver, it wasn't a problem, my company approved my move, they just said, 150 miles around Albuquerque.
Two years ago I bought a house 40 miles east of Albuquerque in the prairie, affordable, 2200 sqft, 40 acre property, $215,000.
Next neighbor about 400 yards away, the others far away I never see, love it. Loudest noises are the wind and the birds, no railway, no airplanes!
Local jobs suck, so I stayed OTR, switched companies in September, no problem at all to get me home.
I'm on a four week on, one full week off schedule and I like it.
I'm usually in ABQ once in a month for some shopping, don't need to go there more often.
Weather, you have four seasons, not too hot in summer, not too cold in winter, ok, some snow but usually it's gone after 2-3 days, elevation is 6500 ft.
Crime in ABQ is high, I wouldn't recommend it to live there, here in the country it's minimal.
Love it here!!dwells40 and FredZeppelin77 Thank this. -

I stopped at Taco Bell on the way home for dinner.
I do that when I get home late. Various fast food.
The usual meal cost me $2.15 MORE. And we haven't even raised wages.Last edited: Jan 2, 2020
