I would think it means home Friday night and leave out Monday morning but my brother in law says most the time it means u get home Saturday night and leave out again Sunday night so I was hoping some people could way in on this
What does home every weekend really mean

Typically it means you get home for a 34 hour reset.

Aside from salary claims, it's the #2 BS story for companies, always has been.
Metallica88, Lab work, Kyle G. and 4 others Thank this. -
When I was OTR/Region out for 2 week home for 3 days, I submitted a Return to Duty time. I'd imagine our 1 week guys do something similar.

Overall i did 2-4 tens in the truck per week (average of 3) depending on the load(s), mostly home a night or two during the week. Holidays off/paid and 2 weeks vac.
Typically, I'd get home Friday around noon, then head out Monday morning or late Sunday night. The best part was knowing my schedule a week in advance.
60k, no touch/non-haz chem tanker, laid back small company/private fleet. As my 2nd job, it felt like I died and went to heaven, esp following up my rookie year at Schneider BulkMetallica88 and buddyd157 Thank this. -
That's home time for you out here. If you are lucky.
My favorite hometime? Well consider this. Blacktop paving from say early March all the way until first frost sometime in October.
Go home late October through Feb on unemployment which is pretty good and supported by your boss. Your only task is to stay healthy, fit and ready to work when that phone rings early spring.
My parents had lots of trouble with that concept. But blacktop being what we did with it simply does not work in winter after the last hay is gathered in at the farm.Metallica88 Thanks this. -
I've had it mean a full weekend off and back to work on Monday, and I've had it mean 34 hours off duty, and that included the 2 hour drive home from my former terminal. When it's just your reset hours off, it really sucks because that isn't enough time to recover from a hard 70 hour week. You get home mentally and physically exhausted, and you're still tired going back to work. I'll never work like that again.
Metallica88 and stillwurkin Thank this. -
If your boss is worth anything, you will go home and decompress for 10 days. Ive had to do that a couple times. But on the 11th Day? You have sold your soul; you better be bright eyed, bushy tailed and motivated to run.Metallica88 Thanks this.
