    1 year OTR experience and looking for a good (company and pay) local (Detroit Metro area) casual/part-time (not 70 hrs/week), solo, non-physical (like produce) Class A or B job. I know, lots of qualifiers, but hey why not. It doesn't hurt to ask. I'm 63 and semi retired and just looking to stay active and support my fishing addiction. Thanks.

    Not a bad idea - if you can make yourself available/unavailable at your own will.
     
    Kannonball and Chinatown Thank this.

    Years ago I worked for a temp service in Nashville and only worked when they had something I wanted.

    That's the plan, 3-4 days p/w on decent assignments or when they're available. Applying at TransForce, Inc. www.transforce.com/ and Driver Ambition, Professional CDL Driver Staffing, www.drivingambitioninc.com

    Most any major carrier (LTL or truckload) who has a terminal near you will probably have "casual" positions.
