    I'm roughly in the same area. TMC would be a good choice if u go OTR

    Where abouts, my family lives in Booneville that is about 10 miles outside of Evansville in Warrick county. There are plenty of jobs haulin' coal down that way. Paid by the load so be carefull they will tell you how much you could haul but what you can actually do is another story. Alot down that way go's straight to Alcoa.

    Just don't sign on with any company that makes you lease a truck and you'll do okay out there.

    If you are talking driving over the road and being home every 6 days I would say no. There are some unique and rare gigs out there but over all it would be very tough making those numbers happen. Now if you are talking local jobs, depending on where you live this maybe possible. Will be tough getting a local job but there are companies out there that will pay. UPS, FEDEX, Budweiser, Sysco, Pepsi/Coke etc... Companies like this usually pay pretty well. They are extremely hard to get into but nonetheless pay well. They work you very long hours and usually 6 days a week but you are at least home every night.

    A big factor is going to be where you live.
