    Realistically, how often can expect to get home during the 40'000 mile training phase? I'm aware that there are many variables,wondering what others may have experienced, thanks.

    when I train I usually stay out 4-6 weeks. It all depends where my Trainee lives. sometimes I stay out 6-8 weeks depends if I need to be home for a function so it all depends where you and trainer lives. Plus what you and trainer agree on.

    Yep, total of 40,000 miles, both drivers miles count toward total.
    Upside, should be well trained by that time, but I don't wanna be out 4,6 weeks without going home some during that time, if only for a day.

    40,000 is total miles that truck rolls. not your miles all miles on truck. that usually takes 8-12 weeks. Like I said we are out 4-6 weeks most companies wont let you go home till you are out 4 weeks. you get 1 day for every 7 days out

    you need to really look into the mirror. 4-6 weeks is a norm when you are running solo also
