Recent Graduate needing hometime any help???

If you live in the Atlanta area you should have a bunch of LTL companies nearby. Fedex Freight has a huge place in Conley, and there are many others too. A P&D driver will be home everyday and have weekends off. Starting pay will be in the $20-22 per hour range with good benefits and 401K etc

Go to the LTL section on this site and post there asking about LTL in Atlanta. There has been a recent thread from someone else in your area just starting out. You are in a prime area for local trucking.

XPO Linehaul in Cartersville GA VS. ABF Linehaul in Conley GA

 

The tickets, the crazy ex, and the kid...

If you’re doing okay with Sysco, STAY THERE until you can get a local driving job.

Nothing wrong with Swift flatbed. But there’s no road company that’s going to be able to consistently get you home. And with your daughter, you’re going to have to be consistent. The more consistent you are, the less crazy games you have to play with the crazy ex.

When you make plans with the kid, keep your word. It’s the most important thing you can do as a Man.


Luck in battle.

 

The big players in LTL are.

Fedex Freight
UPS Freight
Old Dominion
R&L
Saia
Estes
ABF
YRC
XPO
Dayton
Southeastern

Pretty much all of them have home daily driving positions and the pay is not that far off between them. Some are union, some have a strict corporate atmosphere, but every last one of them will be much better than Western Express and Swift.

Get on the website for each of those companies and see who is hiring in your area. You may be surprised at how many of them are hurting for drivers.

 

Interesting that a simple search, " home time", using the search box at the top of this page resulted in 20 PAGES of results.

I had a lot more to say but I promised @MACK E-6 I'd behave.

 

This sounds depressing
