melton 2014 update

When you go home, is it just for a 34 hour reset or a couple of days?

 

Ok thanks. Been driving Otr for about 6 months. So I'm going to godhead and jump ship. I think it's time for some home time.

 

curious about that myself I wouldn't mind staying out 3 or 4 week straight if I could be giving like 3 or 4 days at home at a time

 

I have never done a 34 at home here. I get three days home every 40 days and I have to beg for miles

 

In my situation, I stay out 6 wks. I get some consistent production and have enough days I can bank them for a rainy day. So far I have got the home time dates requested. I think some of it depends on your DM.

 

Sounds good, seems like the only way to make good money truck driving now a days is to stay out 2-3 weeks at a time. Which that is what I was planning to do regardless.

 

Melton is 1 day for every 7 out and they don't quibble. Went home under load on Xmas eve for a delivery on 26. Home time didn't start until out from under the load. They will also let you go through the house if within 70(?) miles of home.

 

I stay out 3-4 weeks and take 3-4 days off.

 

How are the trucks equipped, are there refrigerators or anything in them?

 

No fridge. APU for A/C, inverter for all of your electrical needs.
