    I saw an advertisement for a trucking company offering 7 days on and 7 days off rotation. It sounded like an intriguing opportunity, almost like a fireman, 4 days on 3 days off. Has anyone had any experience with this type of schedule and company and do many trucking companies offer this type of schedule?

    Not many do. You'll be "slip seating" a truck with another person, so it won't be "your truck".

    Also, you'll be making half the money that a full time driver does.

    That's the catch. 1/2 the money and sharing a truck. I was wondering if it was like a teaching job where you work 9 months and get paid for twelve. I figured there must be a catch (1/2 the money) or an extreme hardship (if they paid you full time for 1/2 the work). Thanks.

    This is for people who need less money and want to be home more. I know Roehl does it out of their Atlanta terminal. Also, you drive your car there, drive your 7 days, then leave truck there and drive home.

    They also have a 14 on 7 off, and a 7 on, 3 off, 7 on 4 off.

    I think Roehl, Knight, and maybe CRST have a program like that

    I'd rather clean toilets.

    Same pay, home every night.
