possibility of taking time off from full schedule

Temp services are ideal for this. You pick and choose you're own schedule and the companies you work for. Several temp services hire cdl A drivers. Google : temp services El Paso.

Swift and TransAm have a few drivers that do that, but each time they come back to work, have to go through the hiring process over again.

ADP - Work Force Now, may be a temp service.
Blue Collar Express hires part-time drivers.

 

Seasonal jobs. Dirt/construction, logging, pipeline, ag.

 

I've got two drivers who do this, they bust their butts, meet the goals we agree on and then park the trucks for 4 month and then go right back to it.

 

Also Driving Ambition.

 

Do you (as the owner of the trucks) just let them sit there for 4 months, or do you hire other people to drive them until the original employee's come back to work?

I've never heard of this. I've heard of other programs 3 weeks out, one week off or 7 on - 7 off....but never a person letting a truck sit for 3 to 6 months.

 

I worked for a company before they closed. Work 6 months take a month to six weeks off. My stuff stayed in the trk. Supervisor said trk needs a holiday also
Plus it gave them time to go all the little things that needed to be done
