On 7 off 7, that's basically 2500 in a week out. Still pretty pathetic but when they're constantly trying to get a driver home not going to get much more than 2500 a week due to limitations. There's no other way the guy is only getting 5000 miles in a month.
Driver needs to #### or get off the pot. Maybe even do the 7 on 3 off, 7 on 4 off if home time is so important. Roehl is notorious for these excess hometime programs.

Do I have "short" weeks in terms of pay? Sure! If I leave out Thursday morning, but only get one or two short trips in before payroll closes for the week (Saturday @ midnight central time), that following Thursday's check is going to be a bit light. But it gets made up for the following paycheck.
I pull a dry van now, as opposed to an open deck, and I've been averaging 2300-2500 miles per week. I get paid fairly for the work I accomplish, my trick is in great condition, and I haven't yet (fingers crossed) encountered a bad trailer.
Is the Hometime Plus option good for everyone? No, of course not. But for semi-retired drivers, or drivers who want more time at home with family while accepting less pay over the course of a month, it works very well.
I've been chasing money and miles for danged close to 20 years (19 years officially come June of this year). I've been both wealthy and dirt poor in that time. I've struggled, sacrificed, and celebrated. And I'm more than ready to kick back amd discover all the things in life that I've missed out on while living in someone else's blasted truck.
I'm 41 years old this year. I've been working since I was 12, driving since I was 22. I've done my bit.stevep1977, Big Dog 585, SESteve83 and 7 others Thank this. -
I laugh when I think back about all the stuff I got away with.
