    their are some places you just cant live
    Key West and Colebrook NH are 2 of them
    if you lived on NH coast their are many more options
    later on with experience sometimes the boonies can work

    I am hoping that being less than 40 mi to Berlin NH ( access to Maine from RT 2 )
    and only 41 mi to Littleton ( access to I91 and I93 ) will be beneficial .

    Still researching . I appreciate the input so far from everyone .

    Melton has an add on indeed.com thats 4 days old. Its a posting for NH .
    Melton is flatbed , which is good . Will see what happens when I contact them for a prehire with my zip code :biggrin_25517:

    Anyway .... Northern NH deadzone might not be as tragic as I thought . Going to Berlin,NH this morning to get into the WIA program for some funding options for the license and endorsements .

    I'm up here a lot and I see a very large number of Prime and Western Express about as well. Though in all honesty you will hate life less with a regional carrier than a mega. Look into Pottles or Hartt as well as Bellavance.

    Actually in Greenland at a stop now, heading to Auburn ME in the night.

    If the paper mills in Berlin, Groveton and Gilman Vermont hadn't shut down you'd have some options. Bellavance is your best option if they train. 99% of people including myself would probably fail trying to work for a big company living where you live.

    There are a couple local residents I dont know which have tractor trailers in their yard/driveway on occasion . I know one of them drives trees .
    Logs are a serious business up here ...its like every day , many times ..but a different name on every truck so I am guessing thats O/O's or small mom and pop shops .

    I guess I could knock on a door when I see one of the locals parked on hometime , but almost hate to intrude . Specially since I would be the dumb newbie asking a vet about something I am probably not able to get for 12 months after getting a cdl and safe miles .
