You don't say where you are from, but with TMC you can get home nearly every weekend for most of the country. Check their website for the hiring area.

They do hire in all 48 states for the longhaul division, and in that you will usually be home every other weekend. Check out the 165 page TMC thread for more information.
At TMC you will get 6 weeks of FLATBED training. After only two weeks of training for load securement I didn't know much, but in six weeks I experienced a wide variety of loads.
If you live in the right areas with TMC you may get onto a dedicated run after you get some experience, that could include being at home every day.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
-- J R R Tolkien
