Regional offer

hello I have been trucking for 6 years I nnever went otr before or regional. I got offered a regional job at the company I am with now i would be home 3 full days during the week I really want to do it because it seems like it would be a different experience the only thing that is really holding me back are my kids. I drive 53 ft trailers right now just be nice seeing different places any advice would be great thanks

 

I got my experience thew Budweiser then moved on to Sysco then went to rc Moore now I have been at first fleet for two years. And they have offered me this regional position Maine to pa and I would be home for three days during the week. I never went regional or otr. I was local and in a day cab 53 ft trailer I been to conn mass ri. But home every day just is starting to get boring why I am thinking about doing this regional gig but my kids are young it’s the only thing I do not know about taking this position

 

She does not mind I am basically gone all the time right now I have tusday and Saturday off when I work I work 12 hour days I gues where I am Trying to get at is do you guys think this would be more relaxing then being local and my days off would actually be together feels like I will be able to do more things and not be so tired when I am home. But I never have been in a sleeper truck my boss knows I like driving and he thinks I would have more time with family with this one position and finally get my own truck

 

I won’t be waiting on loads what I do is haul country kitchen bread and I will be swapping trailers so I would get more miles then what I get now and finally my own truck.
