Is this even possible?

You'll just want to come back out after you been away from driving for a week or two...
Its a disease....

 

Some drivers do just that. Live frugally, mostly in the truck, then take a few months off and kick back somewhere like the beaches of the Philippines where living is cheap, good beer, massage, betel nut, etc.

My wife keeps saying,"don't you think it's time we go back to the USA?"

 

You bet it is. I have met quite a few drivers who do just that. Trucks are paid for, store them during the winter months and move on to warmer climates.

 

If I did this there's no way I could get back in my truck after taking off for that long lol. Plus my truck sat for a month once and had a boat load of problems once I started running it everyday. Ya no. The little things that really annoy

 

Log haulers, ag haulers, dirt haulers all do a version of that here in California. You won't do it with a new truck, a big mortgage and a garage full of toys, but it can be done.

I'm told guys that haul tomatoes make a decent living as co. drivers, work 8-9 months a year.

 

Its your business it,s all up to you..,,i,m close to 55 k net right now for the year if i had the heart to tell my kids to fend for themselves i,d b fishing right now but my wife did not agree with me that 7 was old enough. To find a job.....i mean thats old enough to make i phones in china

 

Sounds like a plan to me.But in todays economy you really have to save and your company has to give to good consistant miles.

 

Something to look forward too... perhaps.

 

There are some carriers that you could lease on with where you could take longer stretches of time off. Or, you could get your own authority and then it is entirely up to you as to when and where you run and how much time you take off.
