I am planning to sell the house and pull up stakes this spring and am looking at Dayton Ohio as a new area to live in. Is this a good spot to have as a home plate? Not sure if I will be chasing the freight with one of the big expedite carriers or not but ya never know. -- Mike N

I am having a devil of a time finding comercial truck insurance for my cargo van. Everyone I call says 'sorry we only handle tractor trailers'. Anybody got an agent they can point me to? I am in Maryland. -- Mike N
