    I agree. But everything is relative. I can see a 1,000 sq ft home and a few acres for half that in other places across the US, [that are far from cities] But again, everything is relative to what's being discussed and where it is.

    But lot's of those "cheaper options" are 100-200 miles from anywhere.

    With truckers and relative to keeping costs down, it's still "location, location, location". It's a difficult balancing act between affordability, access, location, and needs and/or preferences

    My view is when my truck and car are paid off ill spend some money ...until then big bucks for a house or apt are a complete waste of money when I'm only home about 5 days a month.
    Girlfriend is a nice lady but I don't have a great track record with long term relationships and won't take chance on having the rug jerked out from under me again ..its her house and woman are fickle lol.
    Things are staying on my terms .

    When I drove for Western Express it was mine for the two months. Hard to work for some one and have them forget how to pay you, This pic was to show the company it needed to be cleaned. IE look at the fuel tank.
    Oh and Sorrento isnt a island. Maps might portray it, yet at the thinnest point of the peninsula it is a mile wide. Last time I checked a island meant surrounded by water.

    Yup,you got it right dude! "Never give up HOME FIELD advantage"!
    I again recommend all you guys to get " Real men don't apologize " audio book. There is a chapter about living with a girlfriend. It's so funny!

    This is something that interests me. I figure once I'm on the road and getting good look at the country I'll be able to figure out where to put down roots.

    This is what I assumed most truckers do. Thanks for the replies.
    I'm waiting for approval for my training for an AZ license in Canada. I hope to be employed as an OTR driver by the summer and on the road to see North America behind the wheel. ;)
