    I guess it's drivers preference with a company. As for me I love running west. Marten just wasn't able to do that unless I submitted for time off Hometime but that was useless to they never got me there on time no matter what.

    The denial of hometime due to operational needs would be a deal breaker for me. When you have to give 2 weeks notice to go home they're should be no reason they can't get you home..
    What I used to do is get to the terminal, calculate when I felt like coming back, send msg & screen shoot msg & then disconnect communication. Don't let these companies run your life& turn you into a drone.
    All they can do is complain after the fact. My truck was always there when I got back. Act feeble & they will have you washing their socks for them.

    I ran out of DeSoto terminal. The handbook says 3 plus weeks out 5 days off... They try to manipulate that any way they could.

    I ran out of Memphis and had the company on it's knees. Did whatever I wanted.

    Usually I’ll run 2500 miles a week on average but right now I’m doing some Walmart dedicated runs out of Tomah(Wisconsin).
