IS ONE DAY PER WEEK OFF TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR IN THIS CAREER?
I think that it is too much to ask for, but my father does not. I believe that wanting one day per week off is being a little too "high maintenance" as a truck driver. However, my father insists that if we drive as a TEAM then we should find a company who will give us one day off per week. I am the kind of guy who is willing to stay out for 3-4 weeks driving before getting time off and he is the kind of guy who is only willing to stay out for 1 week before getting time off. He has mentioned to me that he would CONSIDER driving for 2 weeks before getting time off, but it would be the VERY MOST AT BEST. The only trouble with this is I think that IF THERE EVEN ARE ANY COMPANIES that allow their TEAM drivers to take a day off every week the TEAMS who get this much time off probably do not make very much money. So now I am trying to figure out if a solo guy like myself willing to stay out 3-4 weeks at a time can make more money than when on a TEAM staying out for just 1 week at a time. If anyone can help me out with this then that would be great, because as a new class A driver I am just not sure myself. :?:
