Job suggestions for flexible home time

Try a temp service that hires CDL drivers. Work when you want to.
The service assigns you to whichever company needs a driver. You might drive for 10 different companies, but your job history will only show one employer, the temp service.
Here's just one of a few:

Stay where you are...until you have 6 months there.

Then submit completed applications to all/any of the following that are within a 30 minute commute of your residence:

• Sysco
• Gordon Food Service
• U S Foods
• Performance Food Group
• Ben E Keith
• Core-Mark
• McLane

The beer distributor job is a good "warm up" to the above-listed possibilities. The above-listed carriers will have you home DAILY, in most cases.

If you are somehow rejected/passed over by them all -- try again in 6 more months.

Best piece of knowledge you're going to get on this forum. Ready? Lease Purchase (aka Fleece Purchase) is NOT an owner operator. Far from it, in fact. All it is is a glorified company driver that gets to pay for the company's truck and the associated expenses while the company kicks back and collects the lion's share of the spending cabbage. Savvy?

 

Food service pays much better than beer/beverage. It’s still work, but more $$$$ makes it worlds more tolerable.

 

If you're looking to spread your wings a little but still be home regularly I'd look into the steel hauling carriers in your area.

 

For what it's worth, new drivers rarely have the luxury of calling their own hours. You go where the boss tells you, and little room for personal duties. The industry just doesn't work that way. I all but guarantee your sick loved one will need you, and you are stuck in a Loves in Nebraska for Xmas. I wouldn't venture into trucking until you can give it 100%, or don't bother. Staying local is the only way to be home easily, and even then, it's frowned upon. Those jobs rarely open up. The boss makes no money trying to get you home. Until your situation changes, I'd keep the CDL, but do something else close to home, for your loved ones sake.

 

phoenix trans, online tans, georgetown, maybe try Kenton for steel in berea
See if one of those fits

 

Stay where you are until you find a home daily gig. A recruiter will tell you everything you want to hear to get you to fill out the app and get qualified. The reality is that no regional or OTR can guarantee when you get home, especially if you need to get home weekly. Trucks break down, customers hold you up, weather and the list goes on. Your sick family member needs you. You only need 6 months. Forget Leasing - it is a nightmare that you don't want any parts of at this time.

Good luck!

 

Restaurant food service is home daily, local, always hiring. Sysco, PFG (PERFORMANCE Food Group), or similar companies. You are home daily but you start work very early & you work 12 hour days, and you work hard.

What do you mean by "flexible home time"? Do you mean you decide when you can take a day off with short notice? Your post seems to be asking about home daily, not random days off.
