home time ? ? ?

Your a new driver and you really expect to get home time. lol Are you serious? Any driving jobs with home time are going to be filled by the experienced drivers. Expect 3 to 4 weeks out before going home for a couple of days. If you find one for un-experienced drivers let the rest of us know so we can jump on it too!

If you go through schneider you will be home every two weeks, only for one or two days at a shot though, unless you ask for more. I always asked to stay home one more day an usually got to stay home 3 days. My Service team leader and I got along great which makes life a lot better on the road.

Home Home time

Home time you ask ..... Well it's like this . When your a Rookie out there your gonna pretty much live in that truck . Like the guys said expect 3 - 4 weeks before you stop at the house .

A guy can't make any money at home . Your trainer likes having you drive with him . Your making him $$.

Good Luck to you !
