    If you ask nicely, the Shop might install it for you... and move it to the next Truck... when that time comes.

    Brought a two dropper from Claremont NC and dropped first stop in Davenport IA and the next drop in the morning in Waterloo. Bounce to Fort Dodge for Fido food to Lincoln NE. Then, to another address in Lincoln back to the CB yard. Presumably a home load headed east for Friday and the weekend. Requested to be home Saturday, but that ain't happening. Sunday would be ok but thats a long shot too. Only have 34 hours on recap over the next four days. This winter weather? Maybe I will see MY shadow.

    And here I was talking to a fellow driver about how we wanted TX loads and to take some time off in San Antonio. Not now! LOL I will gladly take that FL load and wait for TX to warm up a bit. I’m like a reptile that way. If I get cold, I can’t move. It’s such a joy to get older!
    At least the northern states mostly know how to deal with winter weather.

    Speaking for myself, I’ve discovered that as long as you are running hard, there is no formula. Ive taken 5 days after being off 2 days less than 2 weeks before. It’s attitude, but mostly where ya live!!

    What trucknguy said. I go out two and a half weeks to three weeks and take 3-5 days. If they see you run hard, make your appointments, FCC WILL accomodate you.

    I’m a lease operator/owner operator (in two months my truck will be paid off) so technically I can take off as much time as I want. I normally run three to four weeks and then take off 5 to 6 days.

    The drivers that run the regional fleet usually get home for 34 hours as a minimum and up to two days at the house. I’m not sure about company longhaul fleet guys, maybe someone will chime in.
