Do OTR truckers spend X-mas at home?

I Got Home Early Sunday Morning. Don't Leave Until Saturday Morning. Woohoo (stayed Out 5 Weeks To Time It That Way Lol

 

He chose to work. He was out of work for way too long before he started trucking, he doesn't need any extra time off.

 

hurt anything. $500 bonus?.. not bad.

 

It's darn good money. He was off for Thanksgiving, and he used to be a chef so he isn't used to having holidays off. Last year he might have been off, but we catered so many meals leading up to and including Christmas that I think he is happy to be working this year.

 

Pat I told you wrong. I left mon night and fri got my load to the house that del thurs.

 

myself. It's not easy and it's like a 24 hour job almost because your mind is always thinking about making sure everything is right. Plus it's hot in there. I can't stand working in that heat. Then you step into a zero degree cooler and contract pneumonia for pete's sake ! funny huh? kinda

 

Most of them aren't driving - they're sitting at truck stops or rest areas doing nothing waiting for everything to open.

Mike worked yesterday and works tomorrow. They shut down for 36 hours and that's it and that's very normal around here.

I saw a ton of trucks on the road yesterday and I'm sure there will be tomorros but today I doubt I'll see a truck.

 

We're out on I-5 in OR now, and it seems we are the only truck...

 

on the roads Tuesday night, tonight. Lots of trucks.
