Vision too Unrealistic?

Progressive

 

As long as you go in eyes wide open and don't have unrealistic expectations that's awesome. Go for it. Some people take constructive criticism as a personal affront instead of taking it for what it really is - something meant to help. That kind of attitude (taking constructive criticism the wrong way) is akin to shooting yourself in the foot before starting something.

Looking ahead, keep in mind too that pretty much anywhere east of the Mississippi River, if you want to be running an operation where you can get some decent quality home time, you can. You just have to put some effort into figuring out how.

Now out west, I dunno. But there seem to be plenty of operators out in CA who have figured out the same thing staying in western states. It's a goal to shoot for. You may sacrifice now to get yourself ahead of the game financially but you don't want to be one of these drivers that spends a lifetime out here banking 1 day off for every 10 you work and hoping you get home every couple of months.

There's really no excuse for companies treating drivers like that in this day and age. That's a relic from the past that mostly lives on at mega companies. Mid sized and small companies don't do that. Heck I know of fleets with a few thousand trucks that get drivers home weekly.

 

Now just to get ^ someone fired up. What you should do is lease on with a company called F2F or something like that.

 

Well after all that went down and is out there in the public domain if he takes that chance, good luck, lol.
