    I don't know.
    But I do know you won't make any kind of decent money doing that.

    It would mean never being in the same truck twice in a row - you would not be assigned to a truck on a permanent basis, so would have to wait for an available truck before you could get back on the road.
    And that could mean an extra week off each time.

    For every home time there is a 1-2 week period of recovery, because of the weak last week and the weak next week bracketing the home time dates.
    You would be forever catching up, if you even got that far.

    I take home time in that area every few months.
    It is the most difficult place to get in and out of, of the three areas that I take my home times.
    (the other two being Denver, CO, and Inver Grove Heights, MN.)
    Do the math.

    Fine with me, retired so money isn't a big issue . I know Knight and Interstate Dist. offer some part time driving jobs just wondering if Swift did.

    Swift used to have what they called the Family Plan which offered something similar to what you are asking about. I don't know how successful it was or if they are still offering it. If one driver decided to stay out a few extra days it botched up the whole schedule.
     
    sal Thanks this.

    Call the Lathrop terminal and ask them directly.
    They might have something right for you, doing the t-called local stuff.

    Or the terminal in Willows. They do a lot of local Walmart dedicated stuff.

    That's because it's not your home terminal ... Getting out is cake and I generally hit my home time within 3 days either way.

    I don't think Swift does offer any decent hometime options, it's the old standard one day off for one week worked, stay out 4 to 6 weeks, get 4 days at home. More modern companies that I know of off hand that offer decent work schedules like 7 on 7 off or 14 on 7 off are, Roehl, Knight, Marten, Schneider, those are just a few I remember right now.
