No, not everywhere.

To be fair -- some areas are clearly better than others.

For example: If the OP put in the same job hunt effort in central or eastern Tennessee, he/she would have:

• More/better options...& freight
• Better pay
• MUCH BETTER running lanes
• Probably get that first CDL job sooner

In short -- right now, I'd rather look for a CDL job in that area of TN, rather than even Atlanta.
