    Gas haulers in Chattanooga are making 75-110k a year.
    There's ample opportunity to be had, even now in the slow season.
    There's a couple companies that hire o/o in gas too.
    In speaking with a couple of those drivers, they claim to be pulling 3k net a week plus.
    Not much in the area you can do to make this kind of money that I know of. If you like, pm me, and I'll point you to the top money companies and the o/o gigs

    Excavation and dirt/rock haulers. Home every day, weekly pay, can’t go wrong.

    I can provide some insight on Brenntag as i work for one of their contractors as a dedicated driver. I haul for the Pacific division, but benefits would probably be the same. I’d definitely check them out. They do have driver facing cameras. But it’s the only downside that I’ve seen.

    So far, I have sent emails expressing my interests and am waiting for replies. I’ve been driving around trying to get a feel of the area and locate a townhome or place I could park bobtail.

    Pick up the phone or make your face known. Emails are more than likely going to a spam folder or to someone that could care less.
