    I've seen some companies offering this home weekly deal. Does that mean you're home every weekends, or you're home for your reset, or just stop by the house for a few hours if you're going by?

    You are home for a reset and once your reset is done you will back on the road but if you want you can tell them you want to be home for the weekend and head back out on monday morning.

    Only way you are ever going to have quality time off at home is if you own the truck.

    I'm home almost every night and always on weekends. MOST of what I'm doing can be turned in one day.

    Depends on the company, but many will not leave you home more then 34-40 hours.

    Not true. I'm a company driver and I get home on Friday evening and leave out early Monday. I'm home every holiday. And, if I need to be home during the week for something special, I am. There are good companies out there that respect the fact that their drivers do have a personal life.
