    Been doing exactly that for nearly last 4yrs, since retiring from last job. First two years, took off 3 days....only because a cousin got married. Maybe two more weeks combined, since. All by choice. I AM at home & completely happy OTR. Cannot see myself doing anything else.

    Think I'm one of the only guys that company actually asked ME earlier on, if I was ever going to get out of the truck! LOL. They now know I'm happy & will cry wolf if ever needed.

    Bonus to that? I more than double average driver income while doing what I love. No rent, no obligations, no bills to speak of. Since I'm out so long, when/if I do want off, I can write my own ticket whenever or however long I want. Need a month or two off? .....I just need to make a call. Just have not had that desire, yet. (Going to HI & possibly AK next month, though).

    As stated previously here.....you sir, are any OTR companies dream. They will be licking their chops over you, once you prove your self capable & responsible. Extremely small minority desire, or are willing to stay out really long extended periods.

    Good luck to you. :biggrin_25525:

    I talked to a driver one time that had lived in the truck for 9 years and said he plans to stay there until he retires. He has tons of money saved.

    And potentially one rough day away from being 51-50'd or blue slipped - forcibly admitted to a psych-ward..... but what do I know. (note: there is no question mark at the end of what you'd presume is a question.)

    You know that's not...... a good thing right?

    I'd guess you might also shout 'The sky is falling"?
