    LOL! who in their right mind would operate a business like that? that's like opening up a store that's closed 4 days a week.

    Roehl has a 7/7 , 14/7, and 7-3/7-4 programs. I talked to a recruiter from there today, she explained it all to me. They also have standard OTR as well.

    7/7- you are out one week home one week, share the truck with one other driver
    14/7 out 14 home 7 and you share 2 trucks with 2 other drivers same with the 7/3-7/4 2 trucks with 2 other drivers

    I'm not so sure about Roehl, seem like a really good outfit, but recruiter made it seem like if I didnt do one of these programs they weren't gonna be able to take me.

    How do you really make money on a 7/7 program anyway?
    Seems like a part time job to me.
