Do any local jobs allow for free time?

Yea there stuff like that out there but it's more then likely be more Physically demanding.
I don't now what city you live by but it ain't a bad gig delivering food/drinks to local schools and businesses

 

Yes, there are many home daily jobs. Most of them schedule tou to work 60-70 hours per week. Many of them may assign you a regular start time, but it could be a night job. Research your area.

Now all the sudden you want our advice after calling us horrible people? LOL Ok...

To answer your question, yes there are plenty of sweet local gigs out there. I’ve been a local driver for most of my career. Most of the local jobs you hear about are the LTL companies (Old Dominion, Estes, XPO, etc.) or beverage/food deliveries. All of those can pay very well but involve a lot of work and a tight schedule. Also there is fuel delivery with a tanker, which a lot of people really enjoy doing but that’s not my thing so I don’t know anything about it.

My job doesn’t pay so great, but it’s a nice laid back atmosphere. I load and unload myself with my own forklift so I don’t have to follow anyone else’s schedule and I usually don’t even have to talk to anyone. And I usually do less than 55 hours a week. I’ll take it.

 

I'm home most every night and have most weekends off. But my schedule is not set in stone by any means. I still do the occasional 2 to 4 day run, or have to leave the house at 0300 sometimes. And the pay is comparable to what I made OTR, sometimes even better if we are really busy.

 

Your current "Free Time" is of what remains before and after your agreed "Work Time".
You want more "Free Time", simply decrease your horrible "Work Time".

CHEERS!!

 

i have a lot of free time doing night shift linehaul, but it's doesn't line up with anyone else's free time unless it's a weekend or holiday.

 

A lot of local jobs that are out and back you'll be starting your day around 1:30-4:00am so you can kick the load off early in the morning then pick up your load for the next day.

Some people hate it but i don't mind starting real early like that. I've been having 6am delivery times with my reload picking up at 11am 3.5 hours away. Leave the yard around 2:45am and back around 1pm most days. ~400 mile days

 

Yes

 

Don’t let these guys deter you it’s definitely out there.. especially if you have all endorsement. I haul fuel and most I do is pull a 20 foot hose of my side tray, cause of a funky station set up(usually a 7 foot hose). But I get in and out the truck 6 times and some consider that hard work. But the options are endless.. you can also do Linehaul/ ltl, which with a little time and seniority you can had whatever run you bid for
