Hello TT community!

I have been browsing the TT site for about 2 weeks now and I must say it is great! TONS of information about the trucking industry and great study guides that offer great knowledge to get started in a new career as a OTR driver. But I am having a small problem as to where I would want to start this new career path.. DO I want to start in NC? should I go Mid-West? I'm not sure.. Being as most CDL requirements are different based on location/state, where do I begin?

Deep down I really want to get out of NC and just restart my entire life as I have nothing keeping me here. So I come to you guys and gals to hear some suggestions as to where may be a good place to start this new journey in life. I am 110% for driving a rig and maybe seeing some if not all of this country.

I also noticed you have the option to apply to a multitude of trucking companies using the feature on TT, but unless I'm doing something wrong, I can't seem to select the year 2015 when adding my employment duration (Which ended 2 days ago). After being in the Automotive repair industry for 17 years I have lost all passion for it. So it's time to do what I have been pushing off for 6+ years.

Any and all advise is greatly appreciated and I look forward to many discussions with what seems to be a great community!

Thanks! Dustin.
