    I'm seeing quite a few local jobs on Indeed in your area. May be a pay cut, but you'll save a decent amount being able to cook all of your meals at home.

    And plus the added perk of a regular schedule and shower every night.

    Thanks for the replies y'all! Sorry for taking forever to come back, finishing up the vacation and then moving to a new place was taking about all my time.

    I'll look into saia. I've absolutely nothing against ltl and if it put me home more often, I'll definitely do it. I'm also looking into tanker companies around this area, would definitely be interested in that switch. Funnily enough, schneider doesn't have any tank work in my area.

    But as far as staying at the great pumpkin goes, the more I'm home the less I'm interested in not being here for weeks at a time. It's highly doubtful that I'll be going back to otr. We'll see what this week of searching brings.

    And I definitely forgot to update where I am on the profile. In Charlottesville Va, not richmond. Which makes it slightly more annoying. This city is about as good to truck drivers as austin. With less local work.
