    Hello I'm new to this site and I like it very much. Would anyone have any ideas of a current company hiring out of the Wilmington,NC area for local or dedicated lanes for a company driver with all endorsements except TWIC? I'm looking for hometime and good pay. I'd like to be home atleast on the weekends. I am currently with US Xpress and was doing Dollar Tree dedicated but unloading 20 tons of material by hand every other day for $170 a truckload is literally killing my back...

    Inman is team operation running general freight from nc to ca then produce back anywhere from nc to boston. truck makes $1500 so a driver would only gross $750 for 8 days of work. I talked to someone there yesterday and they were not very personable to boot...
