Keep in mind. A driving schedule you are asking about will require "slip seating" the truck with at least 1 or 2 other drivers.(especially more than 3days in a row)

Default flex schedule

ridge runner - nothing really wrong with roehl, transport america or schneider as far as i know - just want to check as many options as possible

drew - thanks for the heads up - i know i would be slip seating - usually not the first choice for drivers but pretty much the only option for 7 on 7 off and other flex schedules

i slip seated for awhile years ago switching shifts in a day cab and didn't have any real trouble - the other drivers were mostly cool - and if somebody did happen to leave the tractor trashed or running on fumes you could usually shame them into getting their act together

CRST has something along the lines of 20/10, but I know of no others.

Only thing is with those flex schedules is that you are a part time driver. You won't make a whole lot of money.

The schedule at knight differs from term to term. They have several that I know of......4 on 4 off....7 on 7 off.....5 on2 off (dedicated I think) and 7-10 out with 2 days off.
I was on the 7/2 but never got home in 7, or got the miles. now I have worked with my D/M and on 14 out 3 home. I am now getting miles and smiles.
Hope this helps!

I worked 4 on 4 off for Knight for a few months. they did me real well with miles 2000-2200 miles every time out. it seems like they treated me like a team, very little local work and little time wasted on docks. I could no longer slip seat though and had to get back in my OWN truck. some people live like animals and it's pretty disgusting the way some people keep their trucks. pretty good overall at Knight.
