When
most people think of the Northeast
region, they think of New England, the very northeast corner of the
continental United States, which consists of six states: Connecticut,
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and
Vermont. However, the Northeast is often defined as a much bigger
region which also includes the states of Delaware, Maryland, New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and northern Virginia.
There
is a high demand for truck
drivers, not only in the Northeast, but throughout the rest of the
country. As a result, truck drivers are benefiting from high wages,
flexible schedules and job security. There has never been a better
time to begin a new career on the road.
Major
Metropolitan Areas
Boston, Massachusetts - Boston is home to nearly 600,000
while an additional 4.4 million are located throughout the
Boston-Quincy metropolitan area. The city is well-known for its
biotechnology industry, the Boston Red Sox, and higher education since
it has numerous colleges and universities and more than 250,000 college
students.
New York City, New York
- The Big Apple is perhaps the most well-known city in America. With a
population of 8.2 million in only 322 square miles, New York City is
not only the most densely populated, but the largest in America. It is
a global center for the world economy, the arts, and the film and
television industries.
Washington, D.C. - As the nation's capital, Washington
D.C. is home to all three branches of the government and numerous other
national and international institutions. The greater D.C. metro area is
home to more than 8 million people, many of whom work in the city.
Climate
For
such a small region, the Northeast
has a rather diverse climate. The very northern part (New England)
has warm and very humid summers with bitterly cold winters, while the
southern part (from Pennsylvania to Washington, D.C.) has hotter humid
summers and more temperate winters.
