Company won't let me go home for off time.

Some places are bad about that.

 

What company is this? Don't be shy with the details.

 

And you know... sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself and say NO!!!

If you let them walk all over you, they will continue to do so.

 

At my company a home time request is a valid reason to refuse a load that is not at least getting you closer to home.

 

Oh yeahhhh this is definitely the norm!!

 

Western Express is good for that too. I had to be somewhat opportunistic with my hometime when I worked there. If you pass through the house for 10 hrs, then they try to call that hometime too. Eventually you have to say no to a dispatch and tell remind them what was supposed to happen. You need to switch dispatchers for real. If that don't work, tell them you got summoned for jury duty lol.
