I definitely said that! Load myself at half the shippers I go to, *usually* takes about 10-15 minutes. Unloading takes anywhere from 20-45 minutes almost NEVER have to wait to start and if I do, I get paid by the hour while I wait. And my truck AND trailer are assigned to me so no chasing trailers or dealing with issues left by lazy drivers.
What kind of trailer/freight to haul? (Career planning) OTR

To clarify I am out of Florida just north of Tampa

I'm going to step out due to lack of knowledge of your turf. -
As for off time I'm OK with doing months out at a time but also I want to have the flexibility to go home weekends if needed -
My opinion, You’re in a perfect location for food grade tanker’s like Indian River or Oakley, take a look at their hiring requirements and get enough experience to hire on.

(Honestly I'd also take a company that did Doubles with sleeper cabs or did a lot of contracted fedex freight, mainly because of all shippers I liked hauling fedex so far but I won't drive for fedex because I'm not wearing a clown suit (aka the uniform))
I'd also be interested in a company that hauled both food grade/non hazmat tanks and hazmat tanks, (I do plan to get hazmat eventually if hazmat tanks pay better)Vic Firth Thanks this. -
