Some of you guys are making it hard.

You might get a copy of your DAC and see what’s on it, DAC should be illegal!

 

DAC is Hireright. It’s considered a credit report. You are allowed one free report per year. I pull mine every year just to make sure everything in it is right.

 

If the info is false..submit a claim to hire right.. they will then send the information to the company and the company has X amount of days to correct the information or submit evidence that it was true if they do not submit it by the deadline higher rate by law will remove it off your dac report

 

If you are considering moving to Oklahoma, or even if you don't, can't beat FCC brother! I can't speak to the OTR side, although I've heard nothing but good things from those guys. But I am on the Southwest Regional Fleet been here a year. Consistently average 3000 miles per week and home every weekend unless I choose to stay out. No hand-holding no micromanaging no BS! They give you your load and leave you the hell alone! Definitely not a mega carrier. Good pay, good home time and down-to-earth genuinely good people. Whatever you decide, good luck to you driver

 

Are you usually home on the weekends for a full 48 hours or it just depends?

If you choose to stay out longer do you get more hometime when you eventually go back home?

I'm assuming you probably run out your 11 hour and 14 hour clocks each day (or close to them)?

I'm also assuming it's pretty easy to move from OTR to Regional if you get hired on as an OTR driver and then move to an eligible regional hiring area down the line?

 

Some weeks are different than others but yes, normally I will get home sometime on Friday and not leave out till Monday morning quite often it is more than 48 hours. Occasionally there will be the weeks where I don't get home till early Saturday a.m. and still leave out Monday a.m. however, I want the miles and run pretty hard. If I was more adamant about getting the full two days every weekend, they wouldn't squak about it. As far as the home time. I was told flat-out in orientation that if you are told you get weekends off when you were hired then you get weekends off no-questions-asked! If you choose to stay out for a weekend no, that doesn't necessarily mean you get more home time off the next week. However, I have never once had them refuse I'm off when I've asked for it. I was only here about three months when we bought a new house and moved, I took the whole week off to move and they didn't say a thing about it. Next week I am taking a four-day weekend for Labor Day. However, if I didn't run when I was out they might feel differently. They are pretty good about dealing with drivers on it individual case-by-case basis I have found them very easygoing and easy to work with. And yes I burn my 11 and or 14 every single day. I shut down for exactly 10 hours and roll. 9 hours 20 minutes after I go off duty my alarm goes off and I am up making coffee LOL I figure if I'm going to be away from home I might as well be working and making money. That's the nice thing about being home on weekends, you don't have to worry about conserving hours or doing a recap on the weeks when I do stay out until Saturday and just come home for a restart I usually have no more than a handful of hours at the most left on my 70
