I'm trying to find something where I can be home every weekend, and during the week. I know that is much more difficult, but that is what I'm trying to do. Any suggestions on where to go, and where to look?

Thanks!

Did you go to a school or did you "DIY" the training?

Try service transport , there out of Houston and run a out and back policy , they offer recent grad training , it's a mix of local, dedicated and otr runs.

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

I would look at other options as well. For the most part (and there are exceptions to this) during your road-training you will be OTR with a trainer and possibly out for as long as 6 weeks. Take a look at the following links, hopefully they will assist you with your research:

Good luck!

OWI:

Operating While Intoxicated

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
