    That would be a "relay driver".
    Is it possible? Not really for a new guy. For some reason everyone has to pay their dues with the OTR blues!

    Might be fun for awhile, but the juggling could get tough.

    Yeah just wished I could get the wife used to the idea of it. She dosen't mind one part time every now and then :biggrin_25525: but I could get used to two or three. I've had her watching th HBO show Big Love as a training video the last year :biggrin_255:

    Yep, it's called driving a UPS truck. Or a school bus.

    You could check with Lefebvre and Sons. They are based out of Elk River, I don't know what their policies are on newbies though. DH worked for the branch here for a while, and was home most nights. Things here got too slow in the winter for him to stay on, but that is their corporate office, so it might be different there.

    Just google the name.

    I hope you find what you need, don't sacrifice your family just to drive a truck. Trucking jobs are a dime a dozen, a good family is priceless!!
