Casual/part-time CDL Driving Jobs- Realistic Or Not?

I'm curious if it is possible to connect with a company that hires casual or part-time drivers? In order to pay the bills, I must have a regular job during the week, but I continually yearn for the road. I have three daughters who need their daddy, and right now I can't be on the road for days, weeks, or months on end. However, I enjoy and love driving.

I'm experienced, smart, very professional and a very safe driver. In my past driving experience, I was considered one of the safest and most responsible drivers in a fleet in California where I was driving night agriculture hauls while my girls slept. I'm looking for something where I could consistently team with someone over a weekend or drive agriculture, paving, etc. jobs that are needed on the weekends, holidays, nights, etc. that would allow me to keep my family together.

I know I'm asking for everything and I absolutely love driving but I can't be without my family. I'm located in the South Denver, CO area.

Any thoughts from my brothers on the road?

any other job counts against your Hours of Service, including working at Mc'Ds

Don't know if this would appeal to you or not, but I started driving motor coach as a casual driver while working in retail management. After 15 years big box management I had more than my fill and have been driving charter since. Currently sitting out a thunderstorm at a college football game and due home after midnight. Spent the summer doing AAA baseball and had a blast. I can see this being easier to get into on a part time basis than a TT gig. EVERYBODY is screaming for drivers of all kinds and this worked well for me. Decent $$$ and the tips vary from 0 to OMG depending on the group.

Check Craigslist in your area under Transportation; also there are some Temp Agencies that have Cdl-A jobs that might meet your objectives. Good luck

Hey Bob, this does sound interesting. How did you find a position like this?

Bob: Thank you very much! Never thought about Motor Coach! It sounds really interesting!

ATXJEHU- Thank you for the Craigslist and temp agency suggestions!

Glad some of you may be interested. When I worked retail, I did a 4 on/4off rotation and was sometimes bored with 4 days in a row off. While driving by a local bus company, I noticed a large banner advertising for drivers. I stopped in and asked if they ever needed anybody part-time, as I had another job. They said we sure do, and the next thing I know, I was filling out paperwork. Turned out that the full-time folks seemed to prefer multiple day runs and didn't want bothered with the shorter ones. Started out with short trips, and also did a lot of "rescue" calls when somebody ran out of time and needed relief. I would suggest stopping in with companies nearby and asking if they ever hire part-time
