I've been out of work for two months. The first month was planned in order to take care of an elderly parent. The second month has just been lack of available jobs, and it's killing me. I could have work anytime I want if I was willing to live on the road, but I'm at a point in my life when I want to be home more than that. I want to work, but I don't want to live my life on the highway. I'm having a #### hard time finding local or regional work around here.
I've been driving 11 years, mostly dry van and reefer. I have tanker and multiple endorsements. I let my hazmat lapse a couple years ago but I could get it again. If you go back three years my MVR is clean. If you go back five years, I have one speeding ticket for 5 over in Ohio. No accidents, no clearinghouse issues, one bad inspection in August 2023. I need to work, but I need to be home enough to have a life outside the truck.
Looking to be home at least weekly in Detroit
