I love OTR, got in my blood, but due to life right now, I can’t be out three weeks to two months at a time. I’m currently looking for part time driving. I can tell you lots of companies will do it if you approach them right. Tell them you’re ok with no bennies, jump seating different trucks and maybe a bit older of a truck and willing to be flexible with days off running a day sooner or later. If you approach with all that, you’ll have success finding something. Right now I’m looking at a company willing to do 10 days on, 10 days off. I’ll have to drive 260 miles each way to home. But see I do stuff on the side for income, so this may be perfect.
Part time OTR?

I worked at small company.
We had a retired city driver as our relief driver.
He'd take his wife with him sometimes.
He called it a paid vacation.
Be gone a couple weeks,then back home for a month.BIGOtrucking Thanks this. -
Checl out Schneider. They had s program where you could drive as little as 10 days a month.
BIGOtrucking Thanks this. -
Looked into Schneider’s part time, one week on, one week off program. It’s flexible, the issue is, they only assign you 1500 miles for the week. And it’s like .38 cents a mile. No thanks! That means after taxes etc like a 500 check, maybe less.
If I’m gonna drive a week only, it needs to be plus .45 cents a mile and at least 2800 miles for that week. You wouldn’t even make any money at the Schneider deal. You spend almost that much eating out etc. waste of time... -
This is my "retirement" plan, except for the Mexico part, and the fishing. Wouldn't mind trying kayaking if they make one big enough that I won't sink it.Lennythedriver Thanks this.
