Looking to go local, need advice...

The hours are going to be the toughest thing. Night linehaul might be the thing for you. But those hours are best suited for trash hauling.

 

Jb hunt might have some local gigs.

 

Get your hazmat and go haul fuel. Those are almost the exact hours my brother-in-law works (well 4a to 4p but close) and I don't know his pay, but more than $15. Of course the first year or 2 you may not get those hours, but like any other job stay long enough and you are no longer low man on the totem pole.

 

I've done local Line haul, trash hauling, and container work and haven't had those hours. Working only 10 hours is going to be tough to find IMO. I wish I could work only 10 hours.

 

Very doable. Research the fuel jobbers in your area. If they have a warehouse and sell lubricants... You could drive a bobtail lube oil truck. The company also had fuel bobtails (tank wagons) that would deliver to the local farms. I did both of these along with hooking up a trailer and doing gas stations (truck and trailer out on the west coast). I worked these exact hours. About 10 hours a day going in around 5. Look for fuel bobtails running around your area with a 1203 or 1993 placard. Propane could be cool too but you'll probably make more at a fuel company. I worked at a Chevron distributer.

 

Depending on where you live there are lots of options. I haul woodchips and shavings and sawdust. Make over 15.00 an hour, but work from like noon to midnight.

 

Starting at 5 am be not be the hard part but off work by 3 pm may not be so easy.Its the loads that dictate your hours and if you're done early delivering some companies require you to work in the warehouse.
