Need advice from all drivers.

Local companies, try all of these, these would be your best bets and have great home time
YRC Freight
ABF
Old Dominion
UPSf
Duie Pyle

There are more but those are at the top of my head

For OTR
Schneider National would be the best, they even got local intermodel
JB Hunt, same with local intermodel
Ive heard Lone Star for flat bedding

not to knowledgible on OTR but if you get a local gig you will never want to go

With 16 years experience you shouldn't have to go OTR if you don't want to.

Even if your experience isn't "recent", many smaller local companies don't care about that crap, as long as you can drive.

I'd suguest maybe try to get into a tractor trailer dump or an ltl company. That work is local and the pay is usually pretty deent.

Good luck and I wouldn't want to go OTR either. That's no kind of life for a family man.

 

umm, Schneider and jb hunt...? really?

Try small local regional outfits.

 

Reddy Ice has local in Virginia.

 

First off congrats on your new arrival into this world.You're not going to find a company online that'll get you home every week unless it's where you live or can find a dedicated route,reginal may be another option.Alot of local companies hire,you might wanna try that.Otherwise plan on staying out 2 weeks or longer.

 

Hey bro, im offended. You didnt list con dash way freight on there. But try local companies. Yoiu have the potential to make good money and be home daily/nightly.

I dont know you, congrats on the young baby and by no means am I judging. But why wouldn't your wife at least something part time to help with the bills? Just wondering

 

maybe because the baby is a couple weeks old..he proly needs to start making some scratch now..

Smitty used to be good, back when I lived in Pa. Not sure how they are today, but worth looking into.
