Home time...

[Mainethang]

Does anyone have a list of companies that get you home every week? Two weeks at the most, but would love just a week. Thanks.

CRST has a new "branch" out of Indianapolis that gets you home on weekends. CRST Premier.317-802-9640

on average 9 out of 10 carriers offer some sort of program that will get you home weekends ......ex:with Roehl , I had the option to do MW Regional and be home every weekend , local , OTR (out 11/home3) , 7on/7off or 7/4 7/3 .

If you live somewhere in the middle of effing nowhere , it will naturally be harder to get you home then if you would live in a metropolitan area .

Any informed driver would pass at that chance

You may want to check out the local ads in your area,and see if you can find some regional carriers. There are some carriers that do offer regional runs that can get you home on a weekly basis,depending on where you live. Arnold Transportation is somewhere in Florida. I may be wrong,but I think they offer a southeast regional. They are a HAZMAT company,though,I think.

Roehl requires you to live within a certain mile radius of a terminal before you can be on the Hometime Fleet (7/7, 7/4-7/3, dedicated). I know of one driver that drove 150 miles to get to a terminal. He didn't last long because he had 2.5 hours drive in before he even started work! Makes for a long first day out. Since you live in Florida and the closest terminal is Atlanta I think that Roehl is not for you.

:shock: :shock: just kidding
INTERESTING screen name for a guy living in FLORIDA!!! MOST Floridians only get home every other weekend with TMC as Florida is considered a Long Haul area except for possible dedicated routes we are opening up down there.

If you have 4 mo of under your belt, give Knight in lakeland a call.
The guy's I have talked to out of there, seem happy with them.
They do get you home on weekends, and are pretty flexible when it comes to time off.

Hey Mainethang, I'm from florida also, and if you're looking for a company with weekends home in Florida, check into Commercial Carrier Corporation. I worked for them back in 05, and i was home every weekend for the 4 months that i worked for them. I left to come back to my local job, but as far as they're concerned as a company they're not too bad. They will bring you on out of school, the pay isn't great, i think about .27 mile, but in my experiences almost all of my loads were drop and hook, or drop a loaded and run to get an empty, i can honestly say that i never sat more than 2 hours at a shipper or receiver. You can choose between regional flatbeds, tankers, or van. I was on the van division on a dedicated budweiser account, but i did venture out in to their KlosetMaid loads, which were awesome. KlosetMaid is a good account to be on, multi stop loads which you get paid for every stop, but the best part is is once that trailer is unloaded, you just run it back to Ocala empty, no waiting on a reload or any of that crap, they run you back empty from anywhere in the country, strange but true. PM me if you have any further questions, but as far as your home weekend concerns, and the fact that you live in Florida, because you will find out that a lot of company's don't even hire out of Florida, I think it would be a good idea to look in to them. Sorry for the long winded post, but look in to them.
