Hi,
I am new driver I just started with McElroy Truck lines. I know having a family and trucking can be difficult. You and your wife have to have the conversation on what you want to do. Just to add my 2 cents, I drive regional and I am home every Friday afternoon and leave out on Sunday night. So far it has been a good job and pays decent. I see the local guys here at this company and they start really early and when they are done they are already getting ready for the next day. Being regional I sleep in my truck so I am already at work. Like stated before being out on the road daily is easier so you get can used to the truck and how to drive it. I only back up when I have to get to a shipper or cosignee and that’s if they require it. Good luck with whatever decision you make.
