    Any outfit that restocks the stores, is usually at night. Fact is, I think more goes on at night than during the day.

    Man I’m really glad I went back. I never should have left but oh well I had to give the red truck a try and I couldn’t see myself staying there till I retired. Some awful good people there but it was time to go.

    Good idea, my buddy went to Estes Express and does a night run, drop & hook. Home every day.

    Estes is still up in the air. Good company, but I'm also trying to stick to warmer locales. Got an offer in the Denver area a few times. But like I mentioned in the past, I just can't seem to prepare myself to move that far from where I am now.

    Linehaul seems alright, but the only thing that bugs me the most is the wind effect on those doubles. Driving tankers all these years, the high winds hardly registered. Those doubles in a cross wind will definitely make for a unique, "relearning curve".

    lots of them. that's the only jobs i sought out, when i got older.

    try companies that do dedicated auto parts deliveries, for Auto Zone, Advanced Auto, NAPA, and nearly all the car dealerships. many of those, are located in Cherry Hill, NJ.

    Pumpernickle comes to mind. i know, i worked one night for them.

    i don't even know if they are still in business. (out of Cherry Hill, NJ.)

    you can try going to dealerships near you, at or about 9 PM, and a truck will arrive to make deliveries.

    just be careful how you approach the driver(s), they do not like "bumps in the night".....

    jot down the company names, and make calls? one time, UPS Freight was doing it for VW/Audi.

    Las Vegas has nice weather year round. Just needed a light jacket since I moved here.
    No state income taxes and no taxes on food at the grocery store.

    Might actually look into Nevada as a whole again. Been keeping an eye out for both the linehaul and fuel tanker positions. Used to live in SoCal and head to Vegas quite often. But now I'm more of a fan of the ghost towns, old mines, and railfan activity in other parts of the state.
