i am working for home every weekend company ..

That's lazy as #### dude. You can't go 4-6 hours without taking an hour nap in the middle of your work day and you go home every day? What in the actual ####?

 

It doesn't sound like you enjoy it.

 

Loads dictate your hours.Take as many brks as you want just make sure to be on time delivering.If your company has consistant miles and you keep taking brakes it will affect your paycheck.

 

Every truck outfit I've driven for ain't no holiday vacation road trip.

 

Was asked to run Walmart dedicated for a week or so to help fill a shortage. Planner asked me when I prefer to run. Told him "from the time the load picks up until I can get it there, unload it and get parked, so I can start spamming for a new load" lol

Don't get paid for sleeping. Not saying I haven't taken a nap before but it was when I was teaming and had a full day cushion on the load which couldn't deliver any earlier. Not sure how my teammate would have felt about regular naps. He was pretty pissed to wake up on the onramp with an intertrip idle violation warning repeatedly going off, and my ### leaned over the steering wheel taking a nap lol

 

lol good luck with elogs

 

That's going to depend on the company. Probably cost a bit in home time and more in money.

A few naps a day sounds a bit extreme to me but you have to run how you feel comfortable. As long as you're making your appointments that is.

You'll get a much better idea of how you run affects you by talking to other drivers at the same company but in most cases running harder and being dependable will result in more miles and more money.

As for showing up early, that can be a double edged sword depending on what your next load is. Start your clock an your early, get unloaded early but then have to kill two hours because you reload isn't ready. Now your 14 hour clock is running out a couple hours earlier than it needed to and you're stuck stopping for the night just before getting to a major city like Chicago and having to run through it during heavy traffic in the morning when you could have made it through that night if you hadn't started your day too early.

 

The company I work for his home every weekend but we do primarily slingshot runs during the week with FCFS deliveries. Some drivers like to roll in about 10-11am and unload because technically it's fine as long as it's there by 1600 and their miles certainly reflect that. I try to be there by 8am, get unloaded and onto my reload. I'm out here during the week to work not lay around babysitting a truck and I expect to be run that way. Obviously this is trucking and there's rare occasions where I'll get a short hop which I'll run it pretty lazily unless it's a 24hr receiver.
