Working weekends
Based on what I've gleaned from this site, I understand that most of us drivers would like to be home on weekends, to spend time with their families, or to simply unwind and relax.
Now, what if I were to tell a potential employer that I don't want to be home on weekends, but would like to be home for 2 days during the week, say Tuesday and Wednesday : would that work in my favour, in the sense that would I get decent and well-paying runs on weekends ( since most drivers would have the day off ), or would I be actually short-changing myself by taking days off in the middle of the week when there would be more freight ? Are most shippers & receivers open during the weekends ? I would appreciate your opinions on this issue, since it's likely to be quite a real scenario for me.
