    Buy your own truck. Or a LTL company.

    Local job, with some OT. I drove for a local manufacturer, 95% of the loads stayed within 2 hrs of the plant, but there was the occasional long run. Made $45,000 one year, home every nite and weekend..

    Is there a specific reason why you wouldn't want to leave your state? You could look into hauling fuel or local ltl.
