    Your home time will start the minute you are told you get on home 300 miles left to go... It's probably not going to be pure 48 hours of bliss.

    If you have any family there at all, designate one room a dark cave. No one to entry or bother you short of absolute fire, nuclear attack or whatever. Until you have had a period of proper sleep. In exchange you will do two things.

    Love on everyone, take care of the honey do jobs and then just before your next load appt you will get some sleep first sufficient to start your first day 11 hours running prior to your 48 hours being over if need be. I remember Memphis in FFE using to complain that I do not start work until 8 Sharp monday AM which means Noon getting trailer at Memphis. Since the shipper and recievers were both 24 hours there is no rush or a problem. However the Recruiter-dispatcher there would make noise about it until one day I just told him to lay off it, Im not a 21 year old 90 day wonder to be abused because I don't know nothing...) That took care of it.

    It’s regional job. Southeast and Southwest. No further than Houston and Ft Worth, and no further north then Baltimore.

    Just curious because I work for a coke bottler, I wonder how different the company side is.

    It’s a dry van, some Coke products, rest just like everybody else, different customers Kimberly Clark, and others. That is what they told me.

    A friend works for them. They are a good company, but you must drive carefully and they do not allow relatives to work at the company.
     
    zigstar and FlaSwampRat Thank this.
