    It would depend at least partly on where henboy lives -- but DC to DC brings this to mind:
    • Dot Foods (Vidalia, Ga)
    • FFE (Atlanta, Ga)
    Walmart would generally not be DC to DC....but instead, DC to stores in the same general area.

    "Local"....would also include fuel delivery....as well as food distribution.

    It's tough to say much more without knowing henboy's zip code.

    Dot Transportation has a dist center in Mableton, Ga -- which isn't far at all from Stockbridge.

    My take is....henboy would probably be happier there, than elsewhere:

    Terminals - DTI

    FFE would be 2nd pick.

    Really depends on where you live. However with you mentioning DC to DC. It sounds like your stuck on a dry van otr mindset.

    Haz-mat tanker is the way to go for local. Or LTL witch once again requires haz-mat & tanker endorsements. Food service might be something to look into if its just delivery by the pallets.

    If you live in metro ATL you will be competing against 100k other drivers that want local too.

    FFE does have regional out of Lithonia. Home every day if you live close, or on weekends if you live a little further (I do this out of the Rocky Mount terminal). If you want to do terminal to terminal (linehaul), you’d be out 16-18 days with 5-6 off & it and would be OTR.
