| I'll be home for Christmas..? Is it unrealistic to hope to be home for Christmas as a new driver who would potentially be starting training in early October (company sponsored) ? I realize Thanksgiving will most likely be out, but man this is the one day out of the year that is really important to me. (of course I know I'll definitely be able to be off for verterans day, flag day, my birthday, MLK day etc). I know no one can speculate on my specific employment situation but it would be really helpful to get a feel for how many make it home, and what your experiences have been! Thanks as always.  |

| what i do to Guarantee to be off for Christmas is right around the end of September i send n my home time request for Christmas the computers at USX keep track of it then i just remind my dispatcher 2 weeks b4 my home time starts then 3 times the week i go home just so that he doesn't forget, haven't missed a Christmas yet unless i choose to stay out, same thing with thanksgiving, but one of the key things to do is build a re pore with your dispatcher communication is key and they will be willing to work with you more,

| I recommend that you find a company that gives you those days off as a courtesy or by contract. Where I work, we get 12 paid holidays off. Although I work local, it does not diminish the fact that we have VERY important family members who count on us being there. Who would want to miss those special times? I know I don't. Drive safe |
