Regional Trucker "weekend"

I work for a company that runs more of a "regional" operation and I usually am home 48 hours on the weekends. For example I left last Sunday # 6pm, ran 2800 miles for the week and was home by Friday at 9am. I will be leaving out Sunday at about 4pm.

 

Be aware that some companies will only give you 34 hrs for a reset and that is considered your weekend. For example, get home Saturday morning and leave out Sunday afternoon/evening. It really all depends on who you work for and the way the freight runs.

 

I run regional and im home every weekend by friday at 4pm and leave sunday morning depending on the length of the run you cant cut yourself too much meaning you need to leave early enough to catch some zzz when you get to the drop i average 2800 miles a week and is the best company iv worked for cause i know ill be home for sure...

 

typically a "trucker's weekend" is any two consecutive days off...it could be a monday/tuesday, wednesday/thursday, and yes it could also be a saturday/sunday....
