    If your not living near a major hub this could be difficult but not impossible, the key is being close enough to commute to work.

    Do not commute that far for daily home time.

    Ive had 70 mile commutes into Baltimore or DC traffic in a car each way to get to a daily truck job once. Getting back home the Md State police pulled me over for excessive speeds 90 plus and when they get to my window and see my logs, baggy eyes and overblown tired sleepy etc they put a leash and take me home. They were very good about it. THANKFULLY.

    Regional is better in my humble opinion. With a sleeper truck. Now if you have babies or a needy wife or some other issue in your life... maybe become a Uber or something. I don't know.

    Regional isn't too bad i have a few options near Meridan. Then i have foodservice as follows, reinhart in Hattiesburg, merchants foods in Philadelphia. Mclane and also sysco in Jackson. If i did foodservice out in Jackson then I'd probably move closer to Jackson like forest or maybe union.

    Isn't Transforce a temp service for drivers? I think my company uses them to fill-in on some runs.

    Id like home daily but im really just comparing regional to local. Here's my issue seems like local jobs tend to be hit and miss. I've found multiple food service companies from reinhart all the way to us foods fairly close by. Then i know brown bottling and coke has drivers all the time. Also log trucks and the county sometimes hires drivers. I just cant seem to find any information on which companies are actually home daily. Im looking at reinhart, us foods, sysco, merchants foods and mcclane. I can't find which ones are home daily and i can't find any contact information for most of them

    Google the business, it has phone numbers. Not everything is meant to be discovered by a website.
