I always started getting burned out at 6 weeks and had to be home by 7 weeks. That's how I ran. Hometime = short payday week!

and yes the medical examiner said him"jarring himself (falling) on the floor gave him 2 more days"...
Moral of the story is don't ignore your bodys peckerheads..
and yes that is a true story.. While Benghazi was burning in 2012.(the exact time).. . I found him dead in his house..... Don't ignore your bodys.. they will tell you when crap isn't right
Funny thing I remember the officer that came to his house to work the scenes name was Sgt. Mooseburger..OPUS 7 Thanks this. -
The only limit is Hours of service. Depending on schedule you may want to take a 34 hour reset on the road sometimes, but other then that you can drive 365 days a year. Unless your company feels different, most don't require you to take vacation. Some will pay out your vacation ays if you ont use them. (some don't offer any vacation) But really there is nothing saying you ever need to come home.
If you do stay out on the road, I recommend a UPS box over a po box since a UPS box has a real address. Some people cant ship stuff to PO box. -

Not that I think much of big carriers but why does a driver need a home to be good driver?
I also know of some drivers which live and drive in some very large sleepers. (Not me) -

I have a dream to become a pilot and I need 50 k .. I love my truck & I'm ok with staying 7 8 9 months in it .. to save of course! I gave up fun & I have no family here im Latino from Nicaragua & I married An American .. things didn't go well my fault I admit but I'd sacrifice everything for my dream.
Just want to fly one day & proudly say I'm a pilot & I was a truck driver before it.
Excuse my English
Think there's no limits -
I think for a single guy or a couple without kids, living in the truck for a couple of years would be a way to save up a great big pile of cash pretty quick. Can't imagine doing it forever, but to save up the money to go to college, to pay for a house or just jump-start retirement? Why not.
