    Dude. Get to your company's yard and take permanent home time from them. Seriously.

    I'm home every weekend and usually a nite during the week. I couldn't work anyplace where I had to ask to go home. It's a job not a lifestyle. When I started in 1992 with Schneider they had me home 4/5 weekends or better.

    What with the zero pay checks and no home time, yes, find a better company to work for.

    I've had a couple $0 checks in the last 5 years. I think it has been two of them.
    Strange things happen sometimes. The stars align in just the right way...

    But my company always tries to get me home on time.
    Sometimes it might be a day or two early or late, but for the most part it has been bang on.

    I work for the 'bottomest' feeder, Swift.
    I have been here over 5 years now.

    I run 4-5 weeks, then a home time. And almost never in the same place twice in a row.
    If a load won't get me home on time I can turn it down for something better.
    A company with good freight helps in that regard.

    Do yourself a favor and go to a better company. Even Swift.

    What is this company?

    $0 paychecks, and only home 6 days a year?

    You don't post up and I'm agreeing with the poster from your other thread....You're just trolling. And not very well either.

    Yea being a new driver doesn't mean they can't respect your time. A lot is asked from you by your company and they owe you that. Have a chat with them and if they can't hold up their end of the deal, you know what to do.
