Home Daily O/O Possible?

It just depends on your area. Around me theres lots of local steel haulers that are home every night. Up north lumber haulers get home daily. I hauled liquid asphalt one year and was home every night too. Look around and see what kind of work people are doing.

 

I'd say company route to learn how the business operates.

or go with an LTL co. that has a dock to driver program, like Old Dominion.

 

1000 a week net is just buying yourself a job. The problem you'll have is insurance. Get a few years to learn on someone else's dime so you're not tearing up your stuff. Getting your own authority will probably be 20k minimum maybe even over 30k+ for the year for insurance and nobody will lease you on with no experience either

Sure it's possible to be home daily lots of people do it. Especially here in the northeast. Pa, NY, NJ, CT, MA

 

Never buy a daycab, especially starting out, small ~40” bunk will vastly open your options up, one or two nights in it won’t kill you. It’s much easier to park the sleeper in your drive way every night

 

There are lotsa things a local o/o could do. And be home every night.

Just a matter of finding the work.

 

I haven't been more than 50 miles from my house in 4 years and net way over 1k a week. Just have to look around your area and see what's available

 

It is important to have hopes and dreams....

 

I worked as an O/O for five years and was home almost every night

I was leased on with a company that had their own trailers and their own freight .


it totally depends on your local
