    Don't they have ga regional or southeast regional where they get you home on weekends unless you choose to work the weekend?

    Tmc can get you home 46 of 52 weeks a year, if you chase the money they like for you to go home at least every 2.

    Thanks Gunner. I've chased the money for 31 years. Kinda at the stage in my life where I would like to chase my grand kids around the park on the weekends. But I'm not the type that can just take off every weekend knowing the dispatch is thinking that I'm not much use to them. After all, it makes their job a little more tedious trying to work drivers towards the house every Friday.

    I understand where your from. They can definitely get you there, they don't like drivers stay out much more past 3 weeks, they feel that the driver will get burned out quick like that. It's not an official rule, but they generally care about the drivers health and well being
