I have offers from coca cola running a route home daily, and TMC coming home on weekends. I have 2 small children and a wife so I'm not sure which would best. Any suggestions??

Depends on your tolerance for hard physical labor. Coca Cola will have you delivering cases of products to various stores and you will have to lump those cases in with a hand truck and prolly stock the coolers too. TMC will prolly be regional truck load or maybe LTL. You will do as many stops with Coke in a day as you do with TMC in a week. But you will see your children every night if you run a dedicated route. For me, I’m too old to hump cases of soda everyday.

Home daily means working all night? I have no wife or kids but I don't like local runs because the easiest part of trucking is relaxing on the interstate vs local fighting traffic and long stop lights on city streets. Plus the amount of time going to and from work vs being on the road and having to just jump out if your sleeper to already be at work.

You're the only one that can answer that question. Personally, I wouldn't do beverage such as Coca-Cola.
What about the suggestions in your other thread; any luck or job offers there?

Get in your car tomorrow and follow a coke driver around to his stops and see firsthand his daily routine. Then decide

If you can stand the exercise I'd say Coke. Better benefits in the long run.
