Looking to finally get OUT of Wisconsin. I was looking into either getting and living in an rv and finding somewhere to go and work until i found a permanent place or getting my own truck and living OTR for a while, again until i found a place. trouble is that i have 6 cats and dont want to give any up. so i would need to get my own truck and lease on somewhere most likely unless i could make a deal as a company driver, which is unlikely.
i now have about 3 months experience with flatbed. concrete pipes, sewer structures, and some pallet freight experience. 2 inch, 4 inch strap and some chaining experience. i dont imagine this will count for much in the flatbed world?
any advice on who to go with or the rv option?

Find a local job, and keep the cats at home.
You will hate me, but to bring 6 cats on the road is selfish and damaging to the cats.
I am offering this advice from a cat (9) owner and a fleet owner.lual Thanks this. -
Get an RV and settle in a no-income-tax state.
Some RV & Camper places also have pet restrictions. Probably have to cheat on the number of cats you have.
Some places also have age limits on RV's. Even if the RV looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor; it still has to meet age requirements.
Many people would love to live in an RV and live wherever they want. At one time I dreamed of doing just that.
I recommend Tennessee, South Dakota, Florida, Texas, Reno/Las Vegas, Nevada. -

If you live in the RV with the cats, maybe get a job with a CDL Temp Agency where you can go home every day. Trillium is one of many cdl temp agencies.

Pick the smartest cat out of all of them and make them the OM (Operations Manager)
There is a thread in here that explains it.
