It's been a couple of years since I have been over the road and I never really thought about it....but why do companies want you to stay out for so many days, but only offer you so many hours off.......if I'm not getting a few whole days off I'm not going anywhere
Days on, hours off

If you get home late Friday and leave early Sunday they figure that you just had three days at home.

They are paying for that truck everyday, and paying for your benefits everyday.... Some companies offer much better time off if you're willing to slipseat, or setup into a 3 man team operation running 8 on 4 off

As long as the truck is SAFE to drive, it really does not matter. The company owns the truck, not the employee.

The suitcase was convenient in case he was terminated and told to take out all his stuff immediately from the truck.
The OTR truck driver kept emergency money on him for transportation to get back home, (either by bus, taxicab, train, or plane), as well as for emergency lodging, (motel, inn, room to sleep in for the night, etc.).

I get my full days off and they usually sent me home early. So for 2 weeks out I get 3 or 4 whole days off. Money wise my checks isn't consistent but I like quality hometime I get.
