    If I could stay local and home daily as an O/O that would be the ideal situation. I'm wondering what kind of operations O/O's can do to be home daily, ty.

    Intermodal O/O seem to get home daily for the most part. Not sure if the $ is there though.

    I pull dry van and typically spend one to two nights per week on the road if I work five days.

    I think it really depends on your location. If you’re in a prime area, you can get home as well as stay profitable.

    I can be occasionally pulling a dump. By my choice I run the road sometimes.

    Yeah that is what I meant about local feed. I know some blow off guys get home every day if they want to.
