    How many days earned per how many days out?

    Do they let you bank your days?

    How are they about getting you home?

    What's the process to take time off?

    One day per week out with a max of four, no banking (though you may be able to work something out with your fleet and/or asset manager, when I was first hired there was some mention of this, but I haven't tried it) never had a problem getting to either my primary or secondary residences usually within two days of the request date, and I have always just talked to my asset manager, told him which residence I want to go to and when...and it's happened. Only once did I have to do a bit of prodding.

    You got 2 years of experience, it is my opinion you can get better than Crete. Just sayin'.

    Yeah, I'm going to give Big M a call too.

    I have an ailing mother and sometimes need to get home and stay home for more than 4 days at a time.

    With my current company, I can bank my days. I usually take the first week of the month off and I still have 22 days in the bank.

    Roehl has some program such as 14 days work and then 7 days off. Problem is no benefits and probably small paychecks & slip seating.

    With 2 years of experience, go for Poly Trucking if you can. There is a thread about them in the "discuss your favorite company" forum.

    They pretty much don't care how much time you take off as long as you average 8000 miles for the month (which isn't hard, they have the miles). They also pay hub miles (48c per)

    Crete doesn't let you bank them, or add them to your earned vacation. We are not supposed to be human.
