Hey All -
I am fairly new to this site and am finding it to be immensely informative ... Have been reading some threads by new drivers about their day to day trials and adventures and I was wondering if there are any such threads by drivers with families that might give some insight into the unique experiences of new (or experienced) drivers struggling with being away from home. I am 47, married, with kids, and would really like to become a driver but not sure how it would work out with having a family.
I tried using the search tool, but didn't find anything that way... Will greatly appreciate any help. -
@indianabuck, I would look into roehl transport, they are big family oriented company they do a home time fleet sounds like it may meet your needs. But you'll make less
You can check out there website here
http://www.roehl.jobs/experience/hometime
And the thread to roehl here if you habe questions
http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/roehl/Indianabuck Thanks this. -

Thanks csw ! I didn't know about rhoel ... they have some interesting hometime programs. I'm definitely going to check into them.
-
I just read this entire thread and would like to thank you guys for taking the time to share your knowledge/experience.

I do pretty well getting to my family with Schneider as well. Depending on where you live, they probably will have an account that can get you home weekly or more. If you haven't already, I'd definitely check it out.
Indianabuck Thanks this. -

Thanks for your response... About how many nights a week do you average at home? I live within 50 miles of Indy ... What do you think a new driver might be able to get ... best case?
