    Figure I would give it a shot here and see if any of you drivers have some info. I'm about to make the transition from OTR to day driver. I want to be home every night and off a couple of days a week.

    Can anyone recommend a great company to check into in the Central NJ or Jersey Shore area that meets these requirements?

    I'm moving to Asbury Park, NJ so the closer, the better. Thanks in advance.

    There's a new guy on the forum called rock n roll relocater who used to drive tour buses for rock bands and such. That's a pretty sweet gig if you could get your hands on it. Maybe send that dude a pm.

    J.B. Hunt in East Brunswick is always hiring. They also have dedicated gigs out of E.B. and Cranbury. Probably alot more.

    Try Pepsi, there in Asbury Park.

    There ain't too many job opportunities where you live, especially one that allows you to be home every night. All the jobs are either north,west, or south of your location, along the turnpike, which is gonna be 1 hour or more commute for you. Best of luck.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll be checking into each one of these. I applied this morning with a placement service called Hire Edge Logistics Services. There was one particular position I was interested in out of Plainfield but I'm not ready to actually move to Asbury yet. The position was delivering bread to grocery stores. Definitely not afraid of hard work and I welcome the chance to do more than just sit in the seat and drive for hours on end. I already do that so I'm looking for something more active. Just trying to set something up or at least have applications on file with companies for when I find an apartment there.
