I am planning to talk with a trucker i know locally here and ask him what he thinks. I will mention some of the companies that you mentioned. I know that some companies like in MN or Wyoming that use the Atlanta area and may hire me too. I am not interested in NY, IL, Nebraska, . Could be interested in the NW, Midwest, Idaho. I am not interested in going to states that heavily Democrat, or anti-2nd amendment. I suppose I would if it were not often.
