weekends off?

Can anybody reccomend a good company that can get me home on weekends? I can work an ocasional weekend but I just don't want to be home with my wife/kids.

I also play in a band that practices every friday night so I'd like to be home of that most of the time. We almost never play out so that really isn't an issue.

I have 10 years driving. Mostly local. Flatbed, drop deck, van and reefer. Clean record.

I live a little north of Detroit.

Thanks

That's the problem. I can go anywhere local. But the money just isn't great local anymore. Some places are offering as low as $12 an hour. I'm making alot more than that but I can barely get 40 hours. Plus my plan is to be an o/o some day so the otr experience will help me in the future.

 

So, are you saying that there are no otr companies that give weekends off? I've seen a bunch. I've seen a bunch of drivers right here on these forums that say they get home every weekend. That's the reason I came here and asked my question. So maybe somebody could tell me a good company that will not just blow smoke up my ### to get me to sign on.

 

Well, staying local dosen't seem like an option. And as far as weekends off, I'm not picky. I just would like to have most friday nights at home. Do my reset and head back out. It don't even mind leaving on sunday. There are l lot of carriers that promise this. I just am wondering which ones are lying. It might be different here in detroit than the rest of the country because we have so much dedicated auto freight.
