"My wife and I packed up and left our hometown at 22.
Since then we have moved states 3 more times in 21 years."
22,23, 29, 36 and we plan to pick up roots again in 2023. Basically once we are established in an area establish a circle a friends it is time to move again.

What was miserable? Just the hustle and bustle of city life?
Both of my parents grew up in rural areas. They both moved to the city and lived a pretty decent middle class life. Family that stayed rural struggled financially in exchange for low density living without neighbors in sight.

Yes, there is a severe driver shortage. I'm seeing ads right now for $15K signing bonuses for new drivers and full benefits. However, to get a short haul route you will likely have to move to a city.
