    You stay out 1-2 months at a time....My god i couldnt do that..
    No matter how much you enjoy your job no one needs to stay out that long...More to life than maken your boss's life that much easier..
    2 weeks is my limit but usually out a week and home a cpl days..

    well with CR England I felt that way too, but after alittle soloing it gets enjoyable. My kids are grown, and I have no wife at home so its perfect for me. I understand you though, house duties and catching up on things.

    you should have no prob. finding work. 1-2 months out? not for me! I got married for the basic reason I love my wife, and love having sex!! There aint no way I would stay out that long. I love being home. 4 more years i'll be 62, seriously considering early retirement.

    I feel the same way when I have the same scenario to work with, but being single its just not that way. I also get fast future ideas that take awhile to get to also. lol

    The very two items will FIRE me for. I am the sultan of U turns and braking pavement is my domain. People just wanna jam on brakes, this is one expert who considers braking as a optional depending on traction.

    I should move to the north, as in Antigun Pass or something. Maybe what I sweat out in two years here in 3 months. four times that in 6. I can run either a dozer or a cat, not soo awful on a shovel. However all of that is under a blue moon.

    Try Magnum out of Fargo, we do the soup plant down that way.

    And you'll learn not to brake hard in Fargo.

    Most training companies have zero tolerance Uturn policies. Schneider was pretty brutal about them. If your record is clean, just move on. But check your driving record(Hireright) so you have that in hand when you start interviewing.

    Funny thing is, every single safety guy that I knew, that had driven, had ALL DONE UTURNS. Its nothing more than new drivers still cant figure out where their trailer is and what trailer swing is.
