    If your truck and trailer are paid for, you get to pick and choose your home time.

    If you have $4,000 truck-trailer payments, home time will be very, very limited.

    If I want to be home, I find local stuff. If I want to drive, I find longer stuff.

    I can find consistent loads and be home daily but I'd rather go out a few nights per week. To each his own.

    Only thing I have to pay truck related is insurance and truck+trailer...


    That's one load.


    Basically I can take 29 days off a month....but that would be stupid.
