What are some long distance driving jobs/careers that do not require CDL or driving a big truck?

Many years ago I did courier work and chose all the long distance drives.

Course, back then, gas was a whole lot cheaper, the pay was better than what we get today and it was just over all a lot more pleasant.

I would check around for courier jobs...see where they go, how far out they go, etc. Many people do not like the longer routes, (which I do not understand...you get away from the city and can drive peacefully, not worrying about idiots darting in and out of your lane), so you may be able to find something there.

As above, courier and expiditor jobs. Long distance is relative and may simply involve one 400 mile round trip a day.

Not a bad gig. You pay for fuel to destination and get yourself back home. Most tow their own fuel efficient car behind and also 2 people do it together, drive two motorhomes and share expenses on way back in one car!!
