    Hey fellow Meltonites. I'm just curious how long you guys usually stay on the road between hometime? Especially west coast drivers.

    Not west coast, but I typically stay out 8 wks. Kids are grown and gone. Wife put up with it while in the Navy, too.

    Well, we all run all 48. Only reason i asked about west coast drivers is because im from the west coast. We have to give 2 weeks lead time for hometime requests and i was just curious what other west coasters did as far as time out on the road. Thanks HousTank

    What would home time be like for a Melton driver from Birmingham, and what is the rider policy like?

    You have to stay out at least 2 wks. Rider policy is pretty liberal and on their web site.

    Minimum two weeks out? Is this specific to West Coast?
    Two weeks out equals how many days off?
    Thanks!

    West coast is 1 week out, 2 weeks to get you home, so minimum 3 weeks. Youll get 3 days off, 1 off every 7 days out
