    You get your hometime just like any other otr company. A day for every week out. What steve is saying is that some new guys coming in don't know how the time away from home affects their families until they actually get away from them.

    Slide the tandems all the way back to the rear of the trailer. It will put contact with the road at all for corners providing more stability. The only other you can do is slow down if it gets windy or pull over and park it if they have a no light trailer advisory.

    Call your school and ask if they offer a refresher course.. a lot of the driving schools offer a short couple day or week long refresher course for cheap and that basically resets your graduation date.

    Nope not saying that at all what I was stating is the the number one reason why most drivers in this industry leave. They can not handle the lonesomeness of the road. On top of the wife and kids crying back home it breaks most people.
