    If you're set on working days, try for LTL city driver. That's what I do and I earn $75k home every night and off every weekend. I usually punch out around 1700-1730 everyday. If you want to make extra money on the weekends, most barns have a signup sheet where you can run weekend linehaul during the day.

    I’m thinking about it for sure but since I only have 6 months experience I might only be able to do linehaul. I might just stick it out a solid year. I looked at Sysco but honestly I feel like that’s a lot of hard work. I rather go to old dominion or ups where I feel it’s worth it. Abf is good too but they are not near me and I heard
    “YRC” (yellow) isn’t what it use to be. R&L carriers said they would let me do night line haul but I don’t like the fact I have to buy my own pallet jack. Definitely a turn off for me that a company would make me buy my own supplies to complete the job.
     
    LtlAnonymous Thanks this.

    Thanks brother for the insight but yeah I’m starting to see maybe UPS might not be the route I want to pursue if that’s the case. I hear people say it’s worth it but to me family time is more vital. I guess I will just invest in my own IRA and 401k before I’m completely miserable for 20 years lol. I also get va disability for life so hopefully I should be good there too. Cool man yeah I loved being a firefighter but once again the schedule sucked to me.
     
    Banker and LtlAnonymous Thank this.

    Yeah I don’t mind working might line haul for a few years but definitely want the chance to do day time. I might just do p&d but only time will tell. Hey beggers can’t be choosy so I will take whatever I can get when the opportunity seems right and presents itself

    Hey, it's not for everyone. I would never say that. I wish you great luck in whatever route you take.
