    Call Wiley in Troy. They have a bulk division that would give you a lot of home time and they have a van division. Driving van, you would be home less. They are very forgiving to new drivers though they are not too forgiving for ignoring safety or fed rules.

    there is osborn in gadsden that advertises getting you home often and have runs getting you home during the week and every weekend.their trucks run like 67 or 68,some 70 i think which is better than ANY 62-63 mph truck.

    wti is a branch of boyd brothers and is flatbed.boyd bros now run reefers too.lots of super single trucks at boyd.boyd is 62 mph.both in alabama tho.

    mcelroy is in 'bama and is flatbed.slow trucks.

    storey trucking in henegar,al runs dry and reefer but keeps you out.i think they are 70 mph and being a student you may have to team a bit.

    bing.com outfits in alabama. google is a liberal search engine and donates to the democrats so i never use google.i've read they sell info on you.

    i come across as rather biased after going over my post,qualifying me as a crusty ol'driver.
    best of luck
