How late for home time are you?

Care to elaborate???

I sincerely hope you are referring to southern transport companies and not just all southerners period......

 

I'm no Sherlock but I'm pretty sure that "I will never work for a company based in the south ever again" includes companies only. Not the people.

 

Well, depends on how you'd like to take it. I'm not a big fan of running south, I've worked for southern based companies in the past. My opinion is obviously my opinion. And I pull no punches, especially with all the northern hate I hear, so, I guess it is what it is, right??

Back to southern based companies, most don't understand the Pacific Northwest and it's a mere afterthought. Most of those companies do Midwest to the south and northeast. The Pacific Northwest is not a strong market for them. A PACNW driver will see home in the winter because a lot of the drivers don't want to chain or see the bad weather that is up here. In my opinion it's just better not to work for them unless you live in the south.

 

I have many southern fries friends. Some of the southerners get testy when they think you're speaking about them, all the while dissing Cali and the northeast.

 

I know what you mean bro. If I had a nickel for every time I was dissed for being a Californian I wouldn't have to drive!

 

In two years I've only had one time sensitive home time request, and they came through. Other than that a day or two before /after is OK with me.

 

Wow never had this problem but never worked for a company that did not have me home 90% of weekends bet in all the years pulling van missed 3 weekends and since pulling flat only 2 so far but I guess some can stand to be way from home longer.

 

Polarisryan, do you think your lack of experience affects your home time? like veterans with the company get priority? I will be moving to Portland next year, and I am looking at becoming a truck driver.
But like you, I want to get home time also, and not be an afterthought! Maybe a company in Oregon/ Washington will get that time you need? Thanks, Sportz

 

I am home every night.
