Depends on the company... The company I drive for its not a problem to get time off if you really need it... Twice this year I have taken 2 weeks or more off at a time... Once was planed a week or 2 in advance... The other was a family medical emergency, and the company helped me get home faster by having another driver meet me to switch loads so I would have a load that took me straight home.
Both times I was able to leave all my stuff in my truck and no one drove it while I was gone.
But as others have said... Dont get the cart before the horse.D.Tibbitt, '88K100, hopeful eyes and 1 other person Thank this. -

I dont know I've drove for cfi for 9 months i started my career with them. Every time I go home I go home for a week straight which was only twice. Last time and this time though I stayed out 3 months and go home for 2 weeks. I stayed out for Thanksgiving and am going home for Christmas. Hopefully be home Sunday. For as long as I stay out if a company wouldn't let me go home for the time off id earned id find a new company real quick. Don't mess with my hometime and we will be fine. Thats my go to to tell a company where they could put their truck.
