What is normal? - regarding Freight Managers

It is very hard on a family, but two or three weeks out and then 3-4 days off is much easier to plan.

If you do it that way then schedule to be home 24-36 hours before your appointment time.

The company prefers to pick up the next load as close to where the last load was delivered. So sometimes there is a delay getting one driver his next load compared to others.

Many of our company drivers said, "never pull to XXXXX town on a monday (east coast) you will sit a day or three before your next load. But I have a hazmat endorsement and my next load was usually preplanned for me before I delivered the one I was pulling, because I had that endorsement.

There have been many replies to your questions. Probably adding some confusion along with some of the answers you hoped for... Welcome to trucking! Hehehehehee

The more you and he experience the business and the more you read, the more you will learn how to work the system and get the best out of it that you can. Hang in there.
