    Midwest is best for the wallet. Except in the winter, then all the decent paying stuff seems to be in the Northwest. I get bored running the same lane over and over in short periods of time. Money definitely is a factor. If I can make the same, now figure in all the additional wear & tear on the truck because of the hills, definitely the Northwest and West. There is never a good time or reason to go to Florida with a van. I think the people in Minnesota are pretty weird, but they have a plethora of hot women. Same with Utah. But I like to pinball all over, as long as the money is relatively the same.
    Doing a local gig now, cause have to be home.

    I prefer running West. A whole lot less traffic, less stressful, and more places to park.

    Between 2 OTR companies in just a few years I ran in every state but Maine. Only load I had going there was cancelled for weather so they made me drop it in Jersey. My favorite place to be is west of I-35 Change of scenary from growing up in Florida. Less Traffic. More Parking. I like snow and mountains in places who know how to treat the roads better. Favorite area is AZ and NM
