Staying out weekends isn't all that great. What happens is that you'll get a load on say Friday that doesn't deliver until Monday morning since most places are closed on the weekends. So you end up driving Saturday and then shutting down Sunday morning/afternoon in a truckstop near the receiver. Then you're stuck there for no money because you only rate layover pay if you sit 24 hours.
Even if you do get say a drop-n-hook that delivers on Saturday, it's hard to get a good load because after-hours/weekend support staff at most companies pretty much suck. And again, most places are closed.
The only plus is that traffic's lighter and there's more places to park. But that's because most people are home with their families. Which is where I am as my supertruckin' days are long gone and done.
