The recruiter will tell you that you'll be home Friday night and have 48 hours at home. Any normal person would read that to mean Saturday and Sunday off, and back on Monday.

48 hours off. Then they expect you to roll.
Your the one not holding up your end of the deal. -
There's no way you've been trucking 20 years
And are surprised at a companies strict 48 hour
Home time policy.
You and the other driver complaining about this
Place act like this is your first trucking job.
If you got 20 years out here then you should know
Companies don't change for drivers.
You got 2 choices:
Stay and deal with it or clean out the truck period.
Some of these regional drivers need a reality check.
They want the OTR Paycheck's without going OTR.
They want the local drivers time off without doing
The local drivers work.
That's why I only do one or the other.
If you want the money, load up the truck and
Hit the road for 3 or 4 weeks,then go home
For a week.
If you want to be off from 4pm Friday till 7am
Monday then clean out the sleeper truck and
Find a day cab or box truck to drive.
If you want to be pissed off an angry all the time
That you don't get the OTR Paycheck's or the
Local guys time off, then do northeast regional
Freight and blow by the house during the weekend
For just enough time to spend one night in your
Own bed and wash your clothesNortheasterner, crb and truckerman75103 Thank this. -
I think most of you pricks are missing the fact that I will and do leave out on Sunday when necessary without complaint, but if it works out that my Friday load delivers Monday close by, then I'd like to keep the extra "bonus" day at the house. Not have it taken from me...
Northeasterner, Guitar Man, p608 and 1 other person Thank this. -
But just sit there and toss out insults...just one more Super Trucker who knows what's best for everyone in every situation.Oledevildog, ladr, Guitar Man and 6 others Thank this. -
Gentlemen, either play nice or play somewhere else.

I see it as a bit of Stockholm Syndrome. "If my life sucks, then everyone else must have a sucky life too."
