Outskirts of hiring area

Well if you are inside the 46/52 hiring area then you will be home most weekends. From Maine I got to KC probably 5 times per year, but really if I did get out that far it meant I was away from home for three weeks minimum and probably more. Now there were many many times that I traveled I 44 through MO and OK, and I will bet that the scant extra miles to go through your house on the way from IL, IN, OH to TX would accomodate you getting home regularly. Also there is quite a bit of freight going between TX and IA that should get you home as well.

TMC usually plans to get you home in the middle of a load. So lets say for you they would have you end up in TX on Friday morning and get you a load to IA for Monday morning. By Friday evening you will be home, and you will probably leave home Sunday afternoon so you can park at or near the customer for Monday morning delivery. This is how they can hire people who live in rural area's and still get them home.
