    Also something for the op to consider when choosing a company is the freight lanes that they run and where does he want to run.
    I didn't go to quite that extreme in the 2+ years I drove for May Trucking back around 02-05, but I would stay out for 8 or 9 weeks at a time. I saw a ton of the country and when I would do my trip planning I would plan my breaks and resets in places that I wanted to explore.

    Exactly. Most companies wish they never had to get a driver home. They may tout their hometime policies, but in reality, every time a driver goes home, the company loses money with that truck sitting in the parking lot or your driveway. It's probably the biggest reason why most companies hometime policies are usually listed as "earning" one day off for every six (and sometimes seven) days out. Most home weekly regionals will only give you a 34 hour reset before they want you back in the truck and rolling again.
