    That all depends on how well you save money. You can take as much time as you want. That's the beauty of being your own boss. I usually take from the middle of December to the middle of January off every year.

    Yeah, O/O's basically call the shots, however, a few things play into it. Your own authority, trailer, leased on to a company, or ?

    I NEVER work a full month EVER.

    But I have all my bills down and I am leased on with a great company!

    The trick is to not owe so much that you have to work .
