    Sorry, but your worried about a "few nights" on the road? Wow, after a few nights I am still on my first week out with two Weeks to go. Well, if you can't handle a few nights in the truck then don't take the job. Other than that I have no idea what to say as your post was very vague.

    Foodliner has several terminals in KS.
    Bulkmatic has one terminal in KS, but don't know if it's close to you.
    Check Careerbuilder and Indeed websites also.

    The job your looking at; if the pay and benefits are good, then 2-3 nights out would be worth it.

    Try finding a company that hauls their own soup. i just got in with a small company, no touch, out and back runs, off major holidays and most weekends.
