    I read a posting which mde mention of a 7/7 schedule where two drivers alternate going out on the road in the same truck 7 on then 7 off. How common is this scheduling. I'm thinking that if I get into this career this would be ideal for my situation.

    In the old days when running team you could do that but now since you can't stop the 14 hr clock you can't really do that
