Need 8 hour work schedule

Yes there is 8 hour shifts in local trucking then u take ur lunch break and afterwards u finish ur day with another 8 hour shift

 

Or go work for UPS because they supposedly have 8 hour days. You know how many times I have punched out at a red light on 202 so I wouldn't go over 14 hours? Not really proud of that because I know now it's stupid but seriously....soooooo many times.

 

It's possible but you generally, as a FNG, don't get to choose your start time and it's probable your start/end times will vary due to customer needs, traffic, weather etc.

 

I’m working a M-F local gig from 2:30 pm-11 pm so 8 hour gigs aren’t impossible. But they are rare in this industry.

 

Why bother with college?

 

Doesn't matter what you heard about CTI; this company is not a lifetime commitment; it's a stepping stone to where you really want to go.
US Express has a program for free college tuition for the driver and his/her family.
CPM is not a scam unless that's all you're paid, then that's the drivers fault for agreeing to work under that pay structure.
Accessorial pays + CPM is the real deal.

 

You will find that the freight requires you to be somewhere in a time frame that does not allow you to stop, park and go to college.

You have to choose. College or trucking. Not both at the same time.

 

Some LTL companies have very short runs. Might look into that.

Maybe check Indeed/Craiglist and look for linehaul or dedicated route. You might have to work for O/O or 1099 company.
