    They might be able to do the 2 weeks on/one off, but if you where doing something like that you would not be able to take the truck home, you would slip seat. Meaning everytime you go on hometime you would have to drop the truck at the yard and would get a different truck the next time you go out.

    Full time drivers that live more then 35 miles from a terminal are allowed to take the truck home with prior approval.

    Ok thanks for the info,the guy I talked to sayed you can't take the truck home. I think he was new or something, he did not know the answers to a lot of my questions. I don't want slip seat, so I'll go for full time. He also sayed no e logs is this correct?

    Layover pay is $50 bucks every 24 hours IF you haven't turned down a load and aren't under a load.

    Detention pay is $12 an hour after the first 2 hours.

    Just wanted to pop in and say hi. Didn't realize you started a thread hehe. Looks like been you've been running decent. Are you on a western regional or are you just happening to run that? Sorry to hear you're having so many problems trying to get the wife in the truck.

    Just got home today for first of 7 days off and of course I get the flu. What crap.
