Thanksgiving became a thing of the past many years ago for me. One day that became a 4 day holiday for people who work 40 hour weeks with every weekend off. Really screws drivers up that want to keep working in hopes of time off between the big time of Xmas and New Years. One of my friends calls Thanksgiving, Xmas and New Years the "Tri-F**hta". At least we can be thankful that there is a bit of freight to move to keep some money coming in until everyone gets back to work next week.

I enjoy the home time with family during the holidays, but it can play havoc with drivers and their income during this time. So many people take holidays off and unless drivers can pick up or deliver, there is little incentive to be on the road. It isn't fun being stranded at a truck stop during holidays. For those on the road and at home, I wish all of you a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!! Be safe.

Does your company pay any of you otr drivers Holiday pay? and if so whats the catch meaning do you have to be out to receive it?

"OTR holiday pay?" ROTFLAO. Personally, I like driving on holiday periods. Some traffic start and end, but there's always traffic, and the roads are more uncrowded. Since my cancer problem, every day is a holiday. Thanksgiving? For me, every time I wake up on the green side of the grass is a holiday. (borrowed)

Conway truckload pays holiday pay 5 or 6 times a year as long as you work at least 1 day in the holiday week.
