I don't want to go into details, but unfortunately my wife and I may have to, shall we say, change residence. As an expediter, are there states that are especially advantageous to relocate to? I love PA, and may simply move to the cheaper western side of the state, but I have also considered moving south. What I need to know is, how much does it cost to:
1. Register an 8900 gvw van ($153 in PA)
2. Get set up in business (establish LLC or corporation, get PUC authority, etc)(approx $200 in PA)
3. Does your state impose property tax on vehicles, like Virginia does? (PA does not)
and more generally
4. What are rents like for a two-bedroom house or apartment in your area?
5. What does heat & electricity cost in your area?
I must point out a couple things before I finish: First, my marriage is not in danger; second, the problem is financial but long predates my career in expediting, so don't just blithely tell me to get off the road; and please: I'm hurting here, so no smartaleck comments, okay?
What I need to know the most is, what areas are particularly good to live in for an expediter, and also which ones should I avoid?
I know some states don't fit my political views (sorry, Illinois), some may be too expensive, and some have both problems (NY? NJ? Fuggedaboutit!).
FWIW, my wife could find work just about anywhere, just not for a potful of money.
Thanks for your help, fellow forumers
