Well if you're headed to Durango, then drop down and take I 40 and come back up thru NM into the 4 corners area. Or 70 across, 25 down to Raton and then pick your way across.
Anyway, if you haven't noticed, trucks are stupid money anywhere right now. Good economy and cheap fuel combined with a lack of used inventory due to the recent opposite conditions = hi priced trucks and other gas guzzlers.
On a different note, not much industry nor a lot of jobs available down in the 4 corners. Aside from a place to park the trailer, not a great place for opportunity to "start over."
Will be more difficult to find a good job than other areas for sure.
