    You realize current mandate is ANY company with 100 or more employees. The state doesn't matter.

    Not being political. Yes. Certain states will be fighting the mandate. But till it gets over turned. You're still in the same boat. No matter what state you live.

    Get a job with LTL companies for local with good pay. Otherwise most local jobs in Texas have low pay.
    My guess for a spotter job is $15-$19 an hour in Texas.
    Traffic sucks on i35 in Texas the difference is the speed limit is 70-75.
    It sucks not being around your friends and then as a truck driver you work so much anyways it’s hard to have a life.

    Texas is nice for sure, but not without its issues.

    Lots of traffic and growing pains.

    Some areas of Texas it's very hard to buy a house right now.

    No state income tax. Property taxes are high.

    Wait, your moving because you dont want to get vaccinated? Bwahahahahahhaahahhahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    In the words of the Borg. "Resistance is futile". You may be able to avoid it for now. But it will happen no matter where you go. You can live in denial of it. Yet it will happen. It is a matter of time. Then all you will have done is wasted money. Yet your mind is already made.

    Go ahead and make the move. Yet it wont make a difference in 2-3 years.

    I don’t know anything about NY/NJ, but Big D has rush hour like Atlanta, DC, Chicago, etc... Chicago is probably the worst I’ve been around. There doesn’t seem to be a good time to go through there.

    Kentuckians are just my kind of folk. If I were looking to move, Kentucky would be HIGH on my list.

    Its not just big D. Pretty much everything from north Dallas to San Antonio along I35 is a mad house.

    Those constructions projects will never get finished. If they do manage to finish them, it will be time to start new jobs because of all the growth.

    Its perpetual construction.

    I would wait for some sort of housing market correction. Mortgages are expensive right now.
