Translation, please.

11 and a half days out !!!!

In any given 12 day period. Offer not available in all states, please check with your wife, and a lawyer.

 

1 and a half days out sounds like a two night trip. If you do two of them a week, you might get three nights at home. If you do three of therm of them a week, you might get two 15 hour breaks at home during the week and a 40 hour reset on the weekend, Just a guess. The one and a half day out schedule out doesn't sound too bad really.

 

Getsinyourblood is right. The only thing about a system like that is the schedule will vary as far as the times you leave and get back unless it’s dedicated. If it’s with a mega, it could be a bait and switch. If it’s a smaller carrier, ask them if it’s for a certain account or running wild. Kentucky is a good state for freight so it’s very possible to do regional.

 

Could be your gone for a week one week, home every night the next week.
Welcome to trucking. None of us could give you the slightest bit of accurate information without knowing exactly what the job is.

 

Maybe I'm an odd ball here, but I like staying in the truck during the week, and then heading to the house and my other bed. Take a few days off and relax, than force myself back to the truck... Working a day and a half and getting the night off, driving home, driving back to the truck, would drive me nuts.

Oh, I have always slept better in the truck.

 

HA.

One day to get dispatch, load information, morning of day two to load, two days to drive and then two more to sit and wait for a dock and unload. Go home a few hours come back after 5 hours so that truck will be on it's way on time to shipper to repeat.

Anything else like the currently developing ice storm vs Chicago and Louisville will toss a wrench into your best laid plans.

You will get home sometime. Either in this world or the next. HA....
