    Please help. I am in school right now and just submitted app's to Roehl, Stevens and Transam. I live in central Florida and I'm looking (like everyone else) for the most money possible, while still having decent home time so that my 10 year old doen't forget me. Any info on these companies would be helpful. I'm kind of leaning towards Roehl. Thanks.

    Good luck finding anyone that can get you decent miles AND hometime in central Florida. The whole state is kind of a freight black hole.

    If I really, really, really wanted good home time, I'd go with Roehl and run their slip seat board (7 days out, 3 home, 7 days out, 4 home, if I remember correctly), but that would pretty much cut your miles in half and leave you hauling all of your stuff in and out of the truck weekly. It'd help avoid clutter buildup, at least.

    If you can't get on with any of those companies, try Wiley Sanders. I live in Pensacola and getting home has not been a problem.

    Being in that part of florida, you may have to compromise.

    Decide which is more important to you, hometime or money !!!

    It's really tough to accomplish both................

    Comcar could get you home daily or at least weekly, but their money isn't very good.

    Roehl has never been known for alot of miles.

    Stevens, you won't get home to often.

    Just depends on your situation...........

    Good Luck !!
