    All of the above.

    Christmas holiday planning are some of the most dreaded in trucking for OTR drivers.

    I would guess that the majority of drivers (and trainees) get home for the holiday. But you as a trainee will be at the mercy of your trainer, and the company.

    You may work, you may be off a week. That question would best be answered by the company you are applying at. Preventing any panic attacks brought on by members of this board. :biggrin_25525:

    Let me help you there. .... TMC

    You'll make more money. And get a hell of a lot more respect from them as employers.

    Most likely your trainer will want to be home for Christmas, so if you live close to him, you will be also. Thanksgiving depends on the load.
