    You will pay that a week probably on some group company insurance you have no control over on a 10,000 dollar deductible.

    It's also where he lives. Cost of living high.
    20 years ago. I was making a six figure income. Lived in LA. Even talk with others from there. We all agreed. Yes, you make the money. Only problem is your bank account has a built in conveyor belt. Money in, money out.
    The costlier places are the safer, less crime places.
    If the OP went to truck driving with his wife. There is much, not far out of Denver that is affordable. New housing. Like out towards Bennett.

    Costlier safer? Not so. Look at new York, Chicago, Dallas. etc.

    If I were the OP. I'd be getting my wife over to UPS to apply. They would love to have a team come drive for them. We're talking serious money.
