    An owner/operator can run like that and many do.

    It’s not impossible to do. You'll just have to find a company flexible enough. You shouldn't have to quit and rehire every year. That would be a pita of paperwork.

    Im still on the books of my previous employer just in case i get hit with a slow freight layoff from my current employer.

    I don’t know any companies in particular but I would ask everybody up front before you get into the paperwork. As much as companies need good drivers I’m pretty sure a company could work you in on this if you tell them your requirements prior to the process

    Someone mentioned 'the health insurance' issue. I need health insurance for 2mths (or time off).

    That might be a problem...??

    Hey thanks China (u da man)!

    I spoke with Truline,...they have 'TEMP' jobs listed on their site (looks like 60-90 day gigs).

    The other website, my browser is not letting me access. Is that the Right Site Name
