Default Need Some Assistance

I moving to Tallahassee, Florida area at the end of June. Im currently working for Hogan Dedicated and im home every day so when i move id like to find something local there too.
Ive been reading the threads here and obviously the pay for LTL is pretty good. We work 6 days a week and have only 2 holidays off a year. My question is: does anyone know what companies are around there that are home every day and preferably off on the weekends? Maybe someone in here that lives in that area. I know of csx, and r n l carriers so far.

patrick, as long as it's not a breakbulk terminal I'm sure most of the LTL carriers will have you home every night and give you weekends off.

Tallahassee is a major city so I'm sure all the big companies have terminals there. I would check into ABF, Roadway, Yellow, FedEx Freight, Conway, OD and whatever other regional carriers operate in that area.

Good Luck

Good luck

What is a breakbulk terminal? I've been looking into R & L carriers for about 2 years now. Up here they start out at 17.88 an hr. I would like to get into them or even ABF, but ABF up here starts you out part time for 2 years.
