    UPS in Commerce City always has a banner on a trailer that they're hiring drivers.
    I know of a FedEx contractor looking for drivers to go north and back to Denver. Dedicated nightly. Home everyday. Might be others in other direction?

    I lived in Colorado for about ten years, left in 2002 (because I was an idiot) and would love to move back someday.

    So great seeing so many people trash Colorado without actually living here. Ignorance here is as bad the counter at the truck stop.

    Colorado springs sucks. Unless you like being around a bunch of retired people that peaked at 21 and have to constantly tell you about that one time they deployed during peacetime. Just picture Fayetteville, NC only next to Pike's Peak

    Plus, the air quality in the front range, after coming down out of the mountains, makes me puke. The OP certainly won't be alone, with 60-70,000 people moving here every year( tapered off some now that other states legalized weed), however, almost as many move away from Colorado in a year. It's an expensive place to live, thanks to the folks in Vail, Breckenridge, etc. Be prepared for 4 digit, 1 bedroom rentals. Thinking of buying? Think again. New river front condos STARTING at $1.5 mil,,,

    Snakes is a new thought for your dogs. Rake that ground where they laid it out in stone rather than that grass they like so much. If possible have a Boston Terrier or a sheepdog of the classic style. They can take on and kill snakes if need be or let you know about it.

    Economy in Denver is great. Oil fields help this a lot. Plenty of jobs.

    I don’t recommend anyone move to Pueblo. Yes, it is cheaper but is also a crime riddled pit. Check the crime stats if you don’t believe me.
