This is an old post, but I'd like to add my input. Bobcat Bob is right about what he's suggested and it would be a great path. But I want to expand on it and say that any LTL job would be equally as good, some moreso and and less so.
I found that working as a line haul driver and starting a family was a great mix and I was able to be home with the kids during the day when my wife (at the time) was at work. I was fortunate that I was able to bid a run that rarely went over eight hours and that creatively helped. But don't discount the benefits of working nights.
Almost all the LTL line haul jobs will get you home every day, but a few will want to keep you out all week so ask when you're being interviewed.
