living far from terminal / yard?

Yes..
Depends on the company and where they run, but usually it's not a problem.

Living close does have its advantages, but that wasn't the question.

 

i live 1300 miles from my companies terminal. We have company approved spots to park the truck and trailer when on home time. Just ask what ever company your applying to how they go about getting drivers home.

 

A lot of ppl live clear on the other side of the map and still get home the day they requested.All companies have to do is look on the load bored and see whats in your area.

 

Get a straight answer from a dispatcher on what pattyj said * not the recruiter.

They may have a customer close to you.

Also ask about their policy on taking the truck home.

 

Live in TN............ Drive to Ga. ............ 121 miles........ must park at terminal

 

I live in North Idaho and am leased to a company out of Kansas. They have freight that gets me home. It's done all the time. Do your research, first, though.

 

i work out of Nashville. and i live in AZ they get me home and i park my truck in fornt of my house

 

Yes a lot of drivers do it.It sure is sweet to take your truck into your main terminal,have someone pick you up and take you 10 or 20 miles home and be getting your truck serviced while your sitting at home. JMO something to seriously think about.
