Working 6 months out the year

If youre o/o you can do whatever you please

 

Oh you can find plenty of jobs working 6 months/year and as a company driver. The question is do you qualify? I know a couple guys that do that now, but they each have over 30 years experience and are basically semi-retired. They just can't get the road completely out of their blood.

 

And lose a lot of money, even if the truck is paid off, you still have insurance and other expenses

 

You can be an ice road trucker and be on TV making the big bucks

 

Have many, many years experience.

 

Marten Transport has a "flex fleet" that works one week on and one week off but it's only available in certain areas.

 

Roehl does also, not sure if thats what the op wants, but it really is working 6 months a year

 

you can always let dispatch know you intend to quit for a certain season and quit on good terms so you are eligible for rehire, then apply again when you are ready.

The only problem is you'll have to go through the starting process with any company, get a different truck, etc.

I always wondered about doing this as an owner op, is there not a way to cancel your insurance for a period of time?
