    eating like a king huh jsp?

    mrh first time home was for my.daughters 3rd bday, i told them i cant miss it! that sucks they didnt get you there. i always request a day or two before whatever date i really want. like i said im 220 miles from home, i actually passed it on my way to cons. i only had 3 hours left so even if i got sent home i wouldnt have made it. and im doubting they would deadhead me.200+ miles to get home

    I asked for Friday since knew as long as I kept the Monday Wednesday Friday schedule going I'd be alright a day they been keeping me on east coast. I'm usually running central and mountain time.

    I always give 3 weeks notice and put in for 2 days early. Doesn't matter!

    Your Arizona that's why. I either drop Birmingham yard or drop off at Atlanta. I got lots of options to get me home usually.

    For those important dates, don't forget you have a guaranteed home time every 6 mo. They don't roll over, so use or lose.

    I've been deadheaded 500 miles once to her home..so hopefully they just send you home.
    Home time is really my only complaint about Melton. And its the biggest complaint I hear from other drivers.
    Its usually 50/50 for me if I get home on the day I ask for.

    I think it is the nature of the beast. Never had a deployment end on time either.
