My 4 Month Review of Schuster

Few weeks out from the 1 year mark, but have put 135,000 miles on the truck. With performance and safety bonuses, comes out to 91,800 with a few weeks left to go, so I’d guess around 97k for just miles and the easy bonuses. With detention, stops, northeast pay, etc., should be a tick over 100k.

I stay out longer than most would want to though, so probably not accurate numbers for those doing a little more balanced approach regarding hometime

 

6-8 weeks and usually go home on Thursday and leave Monday whenever I do

 

That’s a pretty good description of the feeling very much dependent on runs for how tolerable. Spending a few weeks running back and forth from Iowa to Wisconsin or Ohio definitely drags, but had 6 or 7 west coast runs with good weather in the last couple months, which made the time pass a bit faster. Very luck of the draw here

it’s the 3-5 days before getting home and leaving home that seem to drag the most for me, so I just like riding out the ‘groove’ in the middle a bit longer

 

I believe so for most of the country. Most places are minimum 3 weeks, I think. Maybe 4 if someone’s in the Bay Area or somewhere a bit trickier. Some as little as 2 if it’s primary running lanes

Regional home weekends stuff for IA, NE, eastern South Dakota, etc.

Home daily stuff around Sioux City, Le Mars, etc
