You can go home whenever you choose. Most of us tend to stay out for 3-4 weeks at a time. Some stay out longer and some go home sooner, however the money is not that great if you want to go home very often. I live in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area and still stay out for at least a month in order to make a decent wage. Hope that this helps.

There are a lot of recruiting bonuses ($300 per person) and an additional .04 per mile for 90 days per recruit.
I'm not taking anything away from you...Your hard work is paying off...But creating unrealistic expectations for new hires is going to sour drivers on a good company..ACT -
