    Can any Keen drivers tell me how much realistic home time I could expect living in Raleigh, NC since there are 3 Keen yards within an hour of here (Clayton, Fayetteville, and Sanford)? The recruiting info says must stay out for 3 weeks. I have also heard drivers need to be out for 4 weeks to make any money and that you earn 1 day at home for each week out. Just wondering if I would be able to catch a night or maybe even a 30 minute break now and again passing thru at home. Thanks for any help.

    I worked for keen in 2011 and if you live close to a yard you can get regional or local. Or at least that's how it used to be
     
    Iron Mover Thanks this.

    No I didn't. Spoke with a couple of the location managers and recruiters to learn more at the time. However, they were in a hiring freeze and freight was real slow with construction equipment sales down. I still would not rule it out in the future if the timing were right.
