A 31-mile in-state move south to Salt Lake City. Carriers often pair it with other loads on the same corridor. Salt Lake City gets real winters, so leave slack in December through February.
The nearest big out-of-state market, about 386 miles east: a mid-range regional run. Denver is at about 5,292 ft, so winter mountain passes can matter.

A large military community about 1,830 miles east, and a common PCS pairing.
