    I see a thread about someone moving for driving jobs. I've never ran general freight from a broker or load boards. So I got to wondering where the best place is for an o/o to live?

    Let's say they have a truck with a 53' reefer and would like to be home at least one day a week. Where would this person live and why?

    Also please don't put too much work into this. It's my general curiosity

    Chemical it's Houston.

    To your question I would guess farm land. Which calm and boring.

    In his truck. Why? Freight is right behind him.
