How Much Hometime????

Dave's stirring the pot again. Don't take him too seriously, he's just having fun.

 

I usually stay out 2 weeks and sometimes 3 and I take 1 day off for every week out.
If you take off much more than that, you obviously don't need money very bad.

 

Your home should be on the road. This way all the time on the road is home time. Therefore, the only time when you are not on home time is when you are not on the road.

 

Wow I stay out 4 nights then two days of.....every week guess I must be going broke

 

That’s why he asked if I could loan him money. Sad.

 

I just stay moving until I'm ready to take time off at home .
Then I tell my dispatcher when ill be leaving again ...sometimes I know he doesent like it but TFB.
I'm making good money where I am but a person needs downtime or they will burn out and there's more to life than trucking .

 

I thought you “owned” your truck !!!! Really!....... Sounds like a lease to me. They want to own you as a company driver. But you pay the expenses. Guess it works for a few. But not me. I run my own numbers and choose when and not to work.
