If you're a company driver and not an owner operator, what kind of mileage and gas restrictions will they place on you between the time you deliver the last load before your time off without pay, and when you're on the clock again with pay, on the way to pickup your next assignment? I can't see being allowed to deliver in Dallas, clock out, drive to Weatherford, clock in, then accept an assignment to pick up a load in Dallas or farther east, backtracking on the company dime. Someone has to pay for that fuel. Lemme guess....."It depends on the company?"

Some companies have weekends at home and most long haul companies want a week or two notice of your home time request so they can plan your loads to get you home.
I don't work for "weekends at home" companies because I prefer to keep the wheels rolling and make money.
So, yeah, you're the employee and have to follow the rules. If you want to be the boss, save your money and buy your own truck.haulit6272 Thanks this. -
I know what you mean, especially with the advantage of greatly reduced traffic Sat. and Sun., not having to deal with as many big city rush hours. Seems to me those would be the gravy days. I avoid big metro rush hours during the week like the plague. -
I enjoy staying in the game; better than puttering around a little garden and wondering where my Aricept is. -
