Arghhh - so close, but yet so far

Celadon pays vacation every 30,000 miles dispatched. I just got my 4th weeks vacation since I started here on 3/31/10. If you get 126,000 miles in that 1 year, you get a 5th weeks vacation for the year.

Right now I'm at 122,419 miles. The load delivers on the 26th. Be rough to get 3,800 miles in the remaining time.

4 weeks vacation in 1 year seems good. Is that a 5 or 7 day vacation and what rate are they paying for that week? Not driving yet, couple more years to go till that time, but how often are you home?

in New Zealand we get 4 weeks holiday a year paid at 8% of your years earnings

7 days off. Pay is $300/week if you don't have HazMat, $600/week with HazMat. I'm out 2-3 weeks at a time, with 2-3 days off when I'm home.
