Question about location

I am seriously considering about getting into the expediting field and would like to know if where I live would hurt or help me get loaded miles. I live in Lyman, SC I am 164 miles from Atlanta, GA 83 miles from Charlotte, NC and 100 miles from Columbia, SC. Would this be considered a good area or not?
Also, I am thinking of working for someone who is looking for a driver to drive a sprinter and get hired on with an expediting company I know to ask about the percentages with my paying fuel, tolls, etc. and their paying fuel, tolls, etc. Is there anything else I should find out?

It has been 6 years since I ran a D unit leased to Landstar, so I don't know how things are today. The Landstar agent in Charlotte did a high volume of van business. Perhaps if you contact them they can help connect you to a van owner in your part of the country.
