If you want to run the Western states, you need to find a carrier whose primary freight lanes run in that direction. Some carriers tend to run more regional than 48 states. There are carriers who have different regions which you can run. For instance, Southeast, South Central, Mid Atlantic, Northeast, Southwest, Northwest or Western. Not all companies have that many regions. Some don't have any regional runs. It depends on the carrier. The main thing you should be concerned about when you first start is getting some good, solid experience. Learn all you can. Once you get a year or two experience behind you, then your options will be greatly enhanced. You need to make sure to keep your CDL in good shape, too.
