    Let me be the 1st to caution you on the "5 day" thing. Regional was usually defined as an overnight,or a very long day. "5 day" tells me, it might be much longer than that. Unless a dedicated account, you will go where they tell you, and probably on the 5th day. Local by the hour is the only way to go.

    Epes Transport is looking for drivers in Georgia, & has home-weekly gigs. Note in the following listing....they have a hefty bonus for loads going into the northeast:

    I can't (of course) speak for you -- but I would be curious to learn: where is EPES' nearest dropyard....to your location?

    Obviously -- that could instantly solve your weekend/time off parking problems.....
