    And, she ain’t no Kentuckian!

    Btw Mack, you ain’t Kentuckian are ya? I mean, have you considered the benefits of life eternal?

    - You ain’t gotta worry about COVID
    - Your eyesight will improve exponentially
    - Keep on the low down and you’re pretty much untouchable
    - The night belongs to you!

    Lake city, FL is on a nice junction and not far from many large cities in the SE really if you can stay regional. Chances of passing through home is quite decent

    I think as a truck driver the best place to live is simply NOT A CITY. You will want good access to a major interstate intersection, preferably with freight moving north south east and west. As a new driver, try just getting out there over the road and seeing if you actually enjoy that or prefer local.
     
    Coffey Thanks this.

    I was born in East Texas and to be honest, had I all of it to do again I see myself living within a 2-hour drive from the DFW multiplex. I can't stand large urban areas as a home but have no issues with working out of one.
     
    Coffey Thanks this.

    Yes Frank you are definitely right. Pensacola is a great terminal to run out of and that area is also a great place to live. The beaches there aren't ruined from high rises like they are up the road at Destin. May also now has a regional route that runs out of that terminal. It's home on weekends for a reset from what I hear
