    I am looking into moving out of state, actually out of the northeast (currently living in RI). I am wondering if anyone has any experience doing this, I am not an otr driver, I drive for a contractor. I have a large family, wife and four kids, so I am not looking to do otr and be gone for weeks on end with them in a new state. So I will be looking for local work or an otr company with a dedicated account that will have me home daily, I've seen some from JB Hunt and US Xpress. Looking into moving to the southeast, anyone know of a good area to raise kids that also has good job opportunities, and affordable living? Thanks for any help.

    Good job with Cardinal Logistics in Goodlettsville. Probably make a grand a week. Delivering to grocery stores & customer unload/driver just counts number of pallets the customer pulls off. Maybe home every day or one layover a week.

    Not to long ago System Frieght was offering a relocation bonus to Syracuse NY. and 50k a yr. It is still pretty cheap up there if you get a little ways out of the city plus its not to far to travel to Ct if you still have family there. I am not sure but I think its mostly I90 Buffalo to Albany type work. If my wife didn't have such a good job I would have went there, upstate NY is a beautiful place.
