    I’m turning 21 in May, looking to go to school in August. I need a company that will actually get me home on weekends for my first year. I’ve talked with recruiters and then drivers and it’s discouraging when you find out the company is just selling snake oil. So I want to hear from the drivers that have actually been through this already. Thanks in advance everyone!

    roehl has fleets built for hometime. 7on 7 off 7 on 4 off 7 on 3 off.. not going to gte u home the weekend but its decent hometime.. if ur looking for weekend off then find something local..might have to start out working docks but atleast u will be home every weekend... its tough to find that sort of gig otr and even harder with no experience..

    How strong are you? If you aren’t a stranger to hard work, look into US Foods. It’s work, but it decent pay and you can be local.

    Lots of flatbed Companies get you home on weekends. McElroy guarantees sometime weekends. Maverick will get you home most weekends. Bear in mind your weekend generally will just be a 34 hour reset. Best wishes to you!

    Ummmm... ummmm... the trash company?
    Let’s see... we got 7th day Adventist’s...
    So... how about an Amish company? Their trucks are mainly one horsepower.

    Seriously... you’re looking for a local company. One that doesn’t even think in “home time”. You’re always home.

    I don’t know if Danville, Virginia is too far for you, but J Rayl has a terminal there and does a good job of getting us home for the weekend.

    Home on the weekend is normal practice as regional contracts are what most carriers rely on.
    My problem is all the carriers near me are home every weekend.
    I am the oddball who likes being out 2 weeks.
