I just turned 22 and have been on a local dedicated Walmart account for 1 entire year. Clean MVR. After I got off my mentors truck, I was immediately offered a surge driver position to help them with the holiday rush. I never went home and spent my 34 hour reset in the truck since I didn't have a house. Never turned down any loads and made every single stop on time. I quickly rose to become one of the best runners on the account constantly bailing out dispatchers screwups.
A year has gone by and I was able to use my vacation time. Only problem is after actually being out of the truck, I don't want to go back being in the truck!
I have literally saved all of my money which is 43k in the bank so I am not hurting financially, but I am completely burnt out. My heart is still in trucking, but I don't want to run hard like that anymore, so I'm thinking of quitting and moving on since they do not offer casual.
Anyone know of any companies that allow casual like 7 days on/7 days off?
1 year experience. Burnt out. Any casual drivers in Atlanta?

I think Roehl has something similar to that. I believe it's 14 days out, 7 off.
G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
look for outfits that slip seat. thats what I was doing, 6 on 6 off. or how ever many days we wanted to be out, followed by that many days off -
downside was you never had a truck that was yours. it wasnt too bad -

Look into being a casual driver at any of the LTLs. Pick whenever you want to run and still earn as much as your typical OTR driver.

Why not buy a truck and put a driver in it and contract for FedEx? Just a suggestion.
