Mcelroy / Keim / TMC

Everything I have researched and read on McElroy they want you to be at your delivery point early enough on Monday morning to have a full days hours available after offload in that morning. So depending on where you will be delivering you may have to leave earlier in the day on Sundays I'm sure you will recieve a lot of advice here.

 

Keim looks really good, but doesn't have anything on the website about weekends home. Maybe they will accomodate you, better call.

Maverick & McElroy are the only two that have a weekend home program and advertise it.

Decker Truck Line just built a new terminal in Bessemer with a Southeast Regional option, but don't know about weekends off. Maybe give them a call.

 

Boyd has a terminal in Birmingham. My bf has been with them for 2 1/2mths and has only missed 1 weekend home. His smallest checks were the $500 a week during training. You might check into them.

 

Well....then my advice would be to stay out of trucking.
See.....even the companies that say "Our Drivers Are Home Every Weekend"---can not 100% guarantee that. Trucking is FAR too unpredictable, ANYTHING can (and will) happen.

 

Find a local job.

 

These are all bad trucking companies?

 

dont sound like trucking is gonna be your best career choice..

 

Granted, I'm a long way from your area, but I hit your home time requirements with TMC every week unless I chose to do otherwise.

 

The "guaranteed" home time every weekend is not going to be realistic anywhere you go unless you can work yourself into some sort of dedicated situation. They all have pretty good weekend hometime systems but you're going to have to expect not to be home until Saturday mornings sometime, and needing to leave earlier then 20:00 Sunday night sometimes. How often that sometimes is is hard to say, but you can't depend on it with anything critical IMO.
