    When you are home for weekends is it usually for a day, a day and a half or can you get a full weekend home?

    Hello, bamamac. I am Michelle, the wife of a Maverick company driever (James is his name). My husband makes it home most weekends for at least 10 hours (very rare for that) but mostly for 34 hours+. The exact timing of his reset depends on where he has to be for his delivery at the beginning of the week and when he has to be there. The longest he has been home has been starting sometime on a Friday and leaving late on a Sunday (that time the delivery was about 500 miles away and due on early Tuesday). Next weekend might be another longish weekend because he has a doctor's appointment on Monday the 16th but he needs to be out that evening so that I can get one of the cats to the vet by 9 AM on the 17th so I have to have the car available in plenty of time for that.

    This weekend, hubby will be arriving at the terminal around 12:30 PM today and will be leaving either late Sunday (after 10:30 PM) or early Monday for delivery on Tuesday - delivery got pushed back because he did not get loaded until 5 AM today when original loading time was 5 PM yesterday (shipper delay).
