    Long story short, can either go company or o/o if it's worth it. Considering getting truck and getting on with a home daily company under their authority.

    Based out of Memphis,but need to move to Alabama (outside of Birmingham) soon. Have no idea what local companies are there so here I ask.

    Currently doing a local intermodal gig still ( previous efforts to jump ship failed). I want to keep my home daily lifestyle or at the most be home a day or two a week and off on set days.

    I'm in a position to get a used truck + have funds set aside for motor replacement .( Yes I know what comes with owning a truck)

    Family is important, I can't be gone weeks at a time.
    No endorsements,just a clean driving record and 7+ years experience.


    Someone page Chinatown

    As usual, thanks for any and all help.

    My son runs for OD in Birmingham and I know they we're just hiring for linehaul. You could look into contacting them.
