    Just gotta save up for a place lol would be cool to find a local job. Like dedicated in El Paso. A lot of places want at least a year experience though or 2 years.

    Yes, and a lot of places don't want a year or 2 yrs. experience. You'll find those jobs once you relocate.

    That’s it for pay. You don’t think he could get better pay? Not sure why you added that last part.

    Local jobs in El Paso don't pay... you're competing with half of Juarez with LFC-Bs (Mexican Federal CDL), and they will drive a truck locally for $15-17/hr, which is all the local outfits are offering. That's why apartments are cheap, the locals don't have any money (and most of that rent is going towards the highest property tax rate in the state).

    I would literally pick anywhere else in TX than El Paso, I lived there for almost a decade and am much happier elsewhere.
     
    lual and Pens4Stanley Thank this.

    Better pay at Herman isn't happening. Shouldn't have went there in the first place.

    One option to consider: Try trucking for a year based out of Pennsylvania to see if the lifestyle is for you before you make a big move to another state.
