Penske is pretty huge & prominent in Sioux Falls SD .... i've got a niece (on the husband's side) that works there, in the office..her boyfriend is a Diesel Tech (with a CDL.) He used to work for Butler, somewhere in the vicinity.. Heavy Equipment company. He is licensed, but doesn't drive OTR..just local'ish for them.

Do you have a CDL???

Why don't you 'want' to drive? Just wondering! (Besides winters, of course!)

Hey Todd!

I guess you're getting bored and decided to jump back in?

What lures you to South Dakota?

That's a pretty lame Todd post. He must be sick or depressed.

South Dakota. Low cost of living. No state income taxes. VA hospital in Sioux Falls. Red state. Pro-gun. Constitution Carry. Beautiful woods, rivers, lakes, mountains, crop fields and "Black Hills". The low/no crime. The hunting and the fishing. The deer. The doves. The pheasants. No bears where people hunt deer. The boating. The camping. Very few people and much outdoorsy rural land. A Mother Nature's playground and sportsman's paradise. Texas is full of hurricanes, horny toads and alligators and not well-equipped for occasional deep freezes. I like to boat and swim, no gators please. Oklahoma is boring, dusty, hot and humid and full of tornadoes and other crappy weather. Scenic Idaho, Montana and Wyoming have gotten pricey for home buying. I'm not scared of no snow anyway. My notion is to take the driving route, preferably regional , after army life a year or two then slip into a more comfortable non-driving position (home every night) related to the highway freight trade. I want plenty of time to play outdoors in Mount Rushmore State. There is Black Hills, Sturgis, Harley-Davidson rallies ever so famous. For the nasty SD snow, yes, I would need a 4x4 personal truck, a push snow blower and a heated dog house for my pooches, maybe. Sioux Falls is only 1,400 feet. I don't like high altitudes for playing outdoors. Makes me sleepy, winded and dizzy. I also saw a video on line stating the average driver makes $62K in low-cost SD. I figure driving for a while is a good career path into a desk job in the industry. I already have my associates degree too, a must for logistics manger. No CDL yet.

I never realized our natural resources were keeping so many ideal citizens away from our territory. It is nice to know we have such a wall of defense that discourages intruders!

If I tell how, the Trolls will change things, so it remains a secret.

Come now, people, I'm not such a bad person.
