They aren't in Florida, they are in Pa., and only hire out of Fla. as needed. Can't hurt to try!

 

Don't take this wrong, but, if the wheels ain't turnin. you ain't makin money.
Unless a local job, starting 8am and done by 5 can be had, some away from home will be required.
Some companies have contracts where the drivers have routes that they run all week, then have weekends off.
If you don't live near to where these types of jobs are available, then pack up and move to where they are, if you want weekends off.
Too many driver's think truck driving is the answer to all their woe's, but don't realize what the job entails.
And that goes for spouses, girl/boy friend's and any other living arrangements, as such. They have to realize what the job requires. No one likes to hear it, but some sacrifices are there for OTR driver's.
The choice to either make money or see the kids is as old as gasoline engines. My father was a driver in the 40's to 60's. He was gone 3-4 weeks at a time and strangely, when i started driving in the early 70's, same thing.
You will just have to support your driver best you can and take the time off as it comes. That is til he can find that one job, where he is home nite's and weekend's.

 

i don't know if a 14/7 would fit the bill money wise but rohel and knight both have those set ups, and i don't know if they are in your area also i think schnider had something similar

also something to think about on the dedicated front, i did sears/kmart with swift for 2.5 years,

as for the job aspect you always know where your going and when you will be home, but you usually get home late and leave early, so yes you may be home a few times a week but rarely weekends off atleast not the whole weekend, and your tired you hit the 70 hour mark and reset and go for it again..

what im saying is the home time is normally not quality home time

 

I would have your husband try Link America. They have a Lakeland terminal and do SE Regional. Have him try Davis transfer as well.

Don't let Craigslist fool you, there are a lot of reputable companies that advertise on there. Calex as well as Epes, Conway and Averitt all advertise on CL. Also so do all the major carriers as well.

He should definitley call Calex and ask if they need a Fla driver. They definitley seem pretty solid. Its tough living in Florida and getting home, I lived in Clearwater the last 20 years.

Good luck!
