Holidays, Birthdays

I have rarely missed a birthday and have never missed a holiday. That's one of the great things about owning my own truck.

 

Most companies will try to get you home. But it's a hit or miss thing. You will still miss a lot, no matter how hard they try. Sometimes you have to be OK with Ah, I'm home the day after christmas......

All major otr companies expect some drivers to stay out during holidays, but know that most of their drivers will expect them to get them home.

I tried volunteering a few holidays to the company but i always got laid over for them. Now i make sure i tell them i want home. I work for werner, so they'll screw you over on miles to keep you near home until its time to go home. But last christmas, i went home with a 2000 mile load.....LOL.
