Well, I do believe there's lots of truck driving opportunities here. In addition to the usual freight stuff, there is also lots of mining 'round these parts. Phoenix, of course, is a huge metro area, but Tucson, just last year, crossed the 1,000,000 people mark for the Tucson metro area, so job prospects here are only getting better.
The summers are warmish...ok, hot...but it's not that bad. I come from the Midwest, and I had no issues adjusting to the climate. In the summer, riding is usually done in the morning or evening. I ride to work/grad school, so I'm lucky enough to end up having to ride home at 3,4,or 5 pm. The hottest temp I've ridden in was 115.
'Round the middle of June, the monsoon season starts. That's when we get most of the year's rain. Monsoonal rains are heavy and short in duration, with the emphasis on heavy.
Last summer, I flew back to the Midwest to visit family, and I took my bike. The 10 days I spent riding in the Midwest were miserable: temps in the mid/high 80's and inhumane humidity. When my flight arrived back in Tucson, the temp was 106, and it felt sooooooo much better than what I'd experienced back east.
As a bonus, we have a ton of bike shops, a few of which are damned fine (Fairwheel Bikes: best selection of stuff; they carry a huge amount of high end components; knowledgeable, riding staff; and they have regular rides, in the morning, 6 days a week.). Of course, the area is also blessed with an abundance of Latina eyecandy to look at. The University of Arizona is in town, and they enforce a strict dress code for women which requires that girls wear as little clothing and cover as little skin as possible.
Another typical day in Tucson....
