    Middle of the country or centerish of north/south runs.

    NC seems to be really good here. KS is probably better.

    You don't want to be in a corner.

    I like to run the lower midwest and the south from texas to georgia. If you run otr depending on the company you will probably see all the 48. I only run as far as texas west. you'll just have to see

    It depends on what you want in terms of freight, road conditions, or whatever and even then it changes all the time.

    Best thing to decide, is where you DON'T want to go.

    Find a friend that'll let you use his address, get your CDL there. You'll never be sent there again.

    Wedgezilla,

    If you truly want to relocate, I would suggest finding some carriers that you think you'd like to work for, and then talk with them about their freight lanes or investigate as to what areas/states they are hiring in. That might give you a good indication as to where to look.

    Good luck!
