How does the home time work?

If I were to go W11, what are the typical weeks out before it'd be cool to go home, vs 48, same thing weeks out until I can get home.

I've avoided asking this question for a few weeks now, felt that if I did I would be told not to get into trucking. I'd prefer to go 48, but be out like 2 1/2 to 3 weeks then come home and see my 4 babies and wife. Just curious, take it easy on me please lol

 

Thank you kindly sir for the quick response. My wife and I were having a small debate, weighing the pros and cons of w11 vs 48, in that was miles and home time expectations. I started in brooks today, so far awesome company. Only reason it came up is we have a disabled daughter who she is caring for 24/7, she's gonna need a break sometime. She wants me to go local but cannot or won't grasp the fact that its near impossible to get a job like that right out of the gate. New career for me as well, I was a police officer for 10 years and was laid off. So the unknown is scaring the hell out of us. But I gotta make the paper lol

 

Pretty much mandatory 3 weeks out or is that recommended time out? and what are you doing now lease or o/o?

 

got ya, thanks
