    Yea but most the time it will be Friday night and if you done have enough hours the Sat. But yea it does suck. And since I'm still starting out I'm still slow loading so I have to stay out so i can still have pretty good miles

    you can't teach driving on a driving simulator, but some of them are good at simulating the shifting patterns on inclines and after slowing down to get used to a certain engine

    Kool,just what I want,I'm at home like crazy right now,not used to this.As long as I can keep my wheels rolling I'll be very happy to stay out for a while.Question for ya,do they (soon to we) do any long hauls...say from Chicago to Cali type of hauls?

    In the refer division I have no clue. In flatbed long haul they do. But how maverick works is who ever is closer to a load or in an area will get any load. For example I like in Alabama I picked up a load in Birmingham a when to Charlotte n.c and empty there. Then they had me load in Charlotte n.c and head to New York. So you can get any load. How that answered your question.

    I'm not trying to be rude here...but are you saying that "getting home only three weekends a month" sucks...or are you referring to getting home Saturday and leaving Sunday sucked?

    NO three weekends a month is good. But only for flatbed. Refer division you will be out two to three weeks out then home. That's what sucks.but hey you got to do what u have to do.
