just be wary that some dms might send you home at 12 days, and that means that since you were not out for the full 14 they can expect you back in only a day.
-
based on what others said you get 1 day off for every 6 out. so wouldn't 12 straight equal 2 days off? regardless, WS appears to be a pretty good outfit to drive for....
-
As far as your pay is concerned. They start you out @ .27cpm and I'm averaging 2800-3200 miles per week. Of course, there is no guarantee of a certain amount of miles from one week to the next. Just my personal experience.

Frank, W/S doesnt "send" you home, you can stay out as long as you want,I usually stay out 6-8 weeks and then take a week off. I usually let them know about 2 weeks before Im ready to go home, and they start working back to my home area. Sometime I wind up at my home terminal a little earlier than I had planned, you have to be flexible as to the exact dates you plan on being home.
-
well it depends on where your based out of.....i'm outta NC and i get home almost every weekend, its just set up that way cause we don't normally run west of the mississippi with the white penske trucks, because they dont have enough drivers to move the freight outta NC so they like to get us back as quickly as possible to hook to another trailer

Do you have to stick strictly to a route? I live 33 miles out of the way if you were going N or S on I-15. From what I've been tracking... Cage, Warp, Deserted that have passed through Utah if I pushed it I could have done my 10 hr reset from home. But My question is if I were to take a different route adding 33 or up to 100 miles out of a planned route would W/S have a problem with that? Also will they let you Bobtail home? I'm 80 miles from the SLC terminal.
-
Its W/S Policy that no bobtail home, but there are situations that they allow it, however 80 miles home just because you want to take the truck home, I doubt it.
