Is this something that you can do part-time? I could imagine making some extra money on the weekends or holidays. You can listen to lectures while driving or sit in the cab and read while resting. Question is whether it's feasible to get jobs that fit that schedule.
Basically anything that has you in your own bed at night and not breaking your back is going to be low pay or require a lot of experience. If you have a driver on staff the incentive is to use them for every hour you legally can because your business insurance costs reflect the number of drivers more than the hours your fleet spends on the road.
I would imagine not really. Logistics jobs are all about reliable throughput. There may be spikes that need extra demand, but you're better off with 5 full time employees who will always show up, than having 4 then scaling up to 6 when you need, since that introduces logistical hurdles.
