Looking for a better home...

You could try Roehl 14/7. Some options in our area for more hometime are flatbed( Cypress, Sunbelt, CT) and you could try CCC(Comcar). Daycabs hauling beer around. Good luck.

 

Try Pritchett in Lake Butler, see if you can get on with their frameless division dispatched by Robert Rowell. I can tell you that your earning expectations are high and you won't see that at Pritchett, but you will be paid fairly and work for good people.

I worked there for nearly 4 years, all local, and consistently made over 40K yearly. Frameless divison mainly runs southeast but they will stretch you out to the midwest and northeast now and again, and even have some drivers that run out to Colorado. They're typically on a 2 week dispatch but a lot of the drivers do see weekend hometime, they've grown that fleet nearly double in size in the last 3 years so they're doing something right, and Robert the dispatcher is a class act.

Get in touch with Roy Crews in HR 800-486-7504 and see if he can point you in a direction, tell him Zach from Tallahassee sent you.

 

Look into the expedited field,T/T drivers in expedited can earn $900-$1200 a week easy.Try Panther or Fedex CC only thing is you gotta find a fleet owner who sign with one of them and more likely you will have to team up with someone.Also if your willing do some labor,look into moving companies like Mayflower,my brother drove for them and made $1200-$1500 a week but there a lot of hard labor tho.

 

Trucking temp staffing agencies tend to have consistant work. Quality driver solutions. Labor ready. Pirate staffing. Road dog staffing.Most pay $15-$16 an hour. I go to these if i'm inbetween jobs. I also hustle the local news papers and sometimes find o/o's looking for drivers. I'll make a quick buck then jump to something better. With the way things are right now, trucking is not paying much. Then the survival mode kicks in, ya know?

 

I've made some of my best money working temp with a local company.

But, it always leads to disappointment in the long run. Because I can't get on full time. Or the company is closing down, and just using me to help with the shut down.

 

I'm with the other guys on here,you better look local and work local for a while until you get more exp.If a co. takes you out of a truck,to me that means your done working there.I see that that's not your fault so your going to be alot better off anyway.Be sure you quit them the right way when you find another job or they're lible to ding your record and then you will have problems.Good luck

 

Try coast to coast refrigerated but not off on weekends(not all,some).and u can make at least running hard from $850 to $1000.and if u find a partner(team)good runner too,you can make more at leat $1100.pick up in fl,nc,ga and deliver to the west coast all i-5 corridor.
