It’s time, hook me up anyone?

Here's an out-the-box idea, @Lennythedriver ...are there any companies around your area that are looking for relief drivers?

It's a bullet shot in the dark, but I'll describe briefly what I do...I pull medical trailers and either deliver them to customer sites, or travel to wherever a driver in our network is on vacation or otherwise off work and fill in for them on their route. We cover 26 states, so as you can imagine, I CAN travel pretty far, but most times I stay closer to home base. If I have to be out overnight (which is pretty frequently given the scope of my position) I get a $50/day meal per diem and company-paid hotel room. So for me it's like a mix of local/regional with some seldom OTR--but it's all daycab. It works for me since I like to travel, but I'm not out three weeks at a time like I was doing full-time OTR. Oh and I'm paid hourly, with OT after 40.

All of that to say, if something like that might work for you, look around and see whats in your area, or that can get you to your area. It's a little different to be sure, but it works for me since it itches my travel scratch without having to deal with being stuck inside a 6×8 box all day.

 

This is a great suggestion.

 

I have been happy working for J Rayl. They have a terminal in Danville, VA, about an hour and a half north of you.

 

It's probably more like home for your 34 than right back out. Getting in very late Friday night/sat morning and out Sunday night again

 

Sorry to hijack thread, but...
Please forgive me.. You're the first Magnum driver I've come across.

I'm in the PNW, I-5 corridor, north. Cold weather person. Does Magnum have freight going out here?

 

well since this got bumped , did you find a outfit @Lennythedriver ?

 

We have some freight that goes out to the Seattle area. Apparently some that goes to the Portland area too, but i haven't taken any of those. Not our #1 lane but we do have daily freight moving to/from that region.
