I am leased to a power only company, our busy season is April to November. Dies in Jan and Feb. In the 1st quarter of every year I might run 2 weeks out of the 13. But I don't owe anyone any money either.
Do you guys lay around all winter when the roads get bad?

I usually only work from June 3rd to June 28th. Snow scares me and I figure it's better safe than sorry.
I hide in my bedroom closet the rest of the year.whoopNride, IH Truck Guy, LoneCowboy and 5 others Thank this. -
Next morning SO and SO reams me out for daring to talk to shop to repair problems with the truck. I return the favor and ream him out for failing to allow the tractor at least a few hours to swing by a company shop where possible.
Back and forth.
And you wonder why I don't do dispatch very well. It's best just to fix the #### thing hand em the bill and hae em play it. If they don't? Find a hotel room and wait until they do pay it.
In the years where I am off Nov 1 to March 1 Unemployment usually is paid with support of the trucking company. At that pont there is no problem, stress or worries. Your job is to be physically fit and ready to go after 1March.G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
