Am I right in referring to my 12' cube truck as a "c" truck?

Anyway, I just purchased this 1997 Ford E350 with a powerstroke diesel. It is in great condition and I would like to sign on with a company and start making money. The only problem is that I am in South, GA and would like to be home at least every other night. Will it be possible to find a company that will keep me within a 500 mile radius? I have no owner-operator experience. I have been driving a delivery route in this same type of truck for a couple of years now and I don't make much money at all.

Help!!!!

Most Companies in Expediting want a C truck to have a minimum of 12 feet available for cargo and be able to legally carry up to 5000 pounds of freight.This would probably require you to run logs and have a CDL. I don!t want to give you bad news but South Ga ( I assume you mean Valdosta) is not exactly a hot bed of expediting and if you want to be home every other night,it probably won!t happen or if you make it happen ,the $ won!t be there.Running in the Southjesat generally requires a team to make any decent revenue..
