    How long does lonestar and ats require you to stay out? The reason I don't care for prime is the benefits are high, pay is on the low side compared to other companies that require less time out on the road. And the seem to have a problem getting me home when I ask for it.

    I actually called a few tanker companies to check on the required experience. I called superior carriers but didn't get an answer..I will look into those companies. What is the hometime policy with the three you listed?
