4 weeks on 4 day off 34 hr restart question

All depends on where you work, what their freight is like, what YOUR avg length of haul comes in at, how the appointments fall in line. Some weeks/places you may end up with restarts where you don't necessarily want one, others you may come within 5 hours of getting a restart but they move you.

Yes, many drivers run extended periods without a restart, others get them regularly as a matter of schedule, others get/take them whenever the opportunity arises. All depends on the company you're at, your driving style, and how the loads fall into line. In the typical regional and OTR gigs for newer drivers, they probably won't keep you running enough to where restarts will be an issue one way or the other, especially in the slower months such as JAN/FEB

 

Check out Watkins and Shepard they are in Conover and will run you all over and 2500 miles or the pay that that amounts to in stop pay and additional furniture packages!

 

Crete Carriers/Shaffer Trucking will. Will let you stay out as long as you want. Have a terminal in Greensboro as well.

 

When I was national, I would stay out as long as I wanted, usually 18-24 days, sometimes longer. 18 days would get me 4 days off, 24, would be 5 days, 30 was 6 days off and 36 or more gets 7 days. I'm with Roehl. You don't have to take the days off if you don't want, and you can stay out as long as you want.
