Texas Local Work Opportunity .. Thoughts

[JHNDZ]

Hey Guys , I would like to hear your thought on Texas, mostly Dallas.
I would like to know how local work is. Is there enough year round ? Whats the avg rate ?
dry van, flatbed , reefer ?
I currently live in SoCAl, I have been here all my life but the regulations are getting out of hand. Im considering moving to Dallas but would like to know more on the market. Here in SoCali I can make a decent living coming home every night and driving about 50k miles a yr. moving dry van.
If its possible to find lanes in Texas that will allow me to be home everyday I would really consider the change.

Your thoughts are appreciated, please no offensive comments.
