    Where is your location?
    A staffing agency that hires cdl drivers probably has what you want. Try www.trillium.com
    Some companies have a flex schedule, such as 4 on/3 off, or similar.
    Roehl Transport and Schneider are a couple I think.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    DOT Transportation - www.drivefordot.com - may have flex schedule.

    You lead me to believe you know something(s) most dont. . . I wasn't aware low overhead was even an option in this business

    1. Find customers
    2. Pick up their product
    3. Deliver
    4. Repeat as necessary

    That’s a full proof plan right there I tell ya!

    Problem is, even if the company does offer those days, the high seniority guys will gobble them up.

    My line haul run is 4 days a week. 8 hour run. Sunday night start, Thursday morning finish.
    I previously had a 4 day OTR run with another company hauling into the US Sunday night and always back home Thursday. It’s just a matter of dispatch co-operating
    If company desires your services they can work with your schedule

    Low overhead, and the wife is knocking down 50 to 65 grand a year.

    Thanks everyone. At the moment I'm pulling dbl hoppers hauling sugarbeets in Idaho. They have been wonderful in working with my schedule, but it's seasonal work, so will be done in a few months. Got some great ideas from some of you. I appreciate the input. Didn't think about temp agencies, was going to look into Schneider too...
