    Stayed out a month now I'm taking a week off, money was good so I just kept rolling..

    Normally a week or two at most, but again if money is good I'll roll with it.

    Hey if you don’t mind telling who do you haul for? I’m looking through NC for companies now.

    For me personally its far more unnerving driving during the day. Headlight glare or glare from the sun.. Take your pick.

    I can keep my truck on the road. Far fewer idiots cutting me off at night. There's the occasional fatigued trucker thats all over the place. But when that happens I just keep distance.

    I typically stayed out for three weeks. If I stayed too close to home, to get home, they ran me by the week and it was really hard to make decent money.
