    They told me two weeks. Then changed it to three weeks. Then tried to get me to home under load. It changes. They change it. Then when you tell them that won't work. They get mad at you. But I stuck it out. It depends on your travel agent. I had a real "Bonehead".

    The policy is one day off for every week out but they also have a separate policy of 12 days out and 2 days off for driver's that mostly run in a region. Also, drivers that live outside of the freight network (west of I35) are typically out much longer.

    I'm just stating how the policies were meant to be. The bottom line is 1 day off for every week out and that's the policy I go by since I'm usually out for 5 weeks at a time.

    If you read the fine print it also states that you must live in certain regions to do the 12 out and 2 off. You live in the DFW area which happens to be one of those regions. But, the policy is still 1 day off for every week out and thats the polict I am under.
