Just go home if your close. I've never had anyone ##### at me for enjoying my time off.

 

Thats how I ended up a O/O . They missed my home time twice and I notified them once I got to a terminal I was done . Rented a car packed my bags and formulated a new game plan . If your fleet manager, dispatchers dont respect your request to go home they dont respect you at all .

 

A few things.

My company would get you home. They guarantee a flight home if #### happens.

Now, as a driver. I have never worried about 12 on and so much off. I do what’s required and then some. I tell them they need to worry about the drivers not up to par...

 

My buddy had a couple of companies turn him down because he had too many jobs. Those companies wanted him to get one full year in at one company. The "bottom feeders" won't care how often you job hop.

 

You get stuck out on Christmas. Chalk it up to the game of over the road trucking. Big company or small, sometimes you get home for Christmas, sometimes you don't. All I know is that it's the smallest window to get loads when these holidays come around. Everything gets booked up so quickly. Then everything closes early

 

Welcome to your first year driving for a mega. Many of us had to deal with this problem our first year driving. You're kinda at their mercy until you get another job offer.
