Schneider's Home Run Program

Roeh- 7on/7off
Transport America-7on/7off or 14on/7off
Schneider- homerun program
CRST Van Ex- 20 on/10 off.

I have a hard time understanding why someone would want to do that. I mean sure all that time off is great, but you are only working 1/2 the year. In other words if a trucker working 14 and 2 or whatever made 50K a year.....you would be making around 1/2 that. By all means, Im not trying to talk someone out of it, hell...I recruit for a company that does it.
Maybe Im missing something here, but doesnt that plan equate to a part time job with part time pay?
Wouldnt something like Celedon be more attractive with their 1 week off PAID every 30,000 miles? I mean at least you are being paid 1000 bucks for the time off.

Folks have different financial goals. Not everyone wants/needs 50k a year. Time off is worth something, too. I made just over 30k when I ran Roehl's 7/7 and was able to play a lot of poker during my hometime...even traveled to a few tournaments. I only netted about $3600 from the poker, but damn, what a fun year. Another guy I worked with ran a bed and breakfast with his wife and had too much to take care of with the business to do the two weeks out, 3 days home thing.

People always get so confused though when you tell them you work half the year. It's like "hey, I have to work full time, you should, too!" Ha. To each his own.

I wrote a big long speel about my whys only to have preesed the wrong button and lose it all.

sheep, when did you come back? Are you still with jb?

Ive been back for a week or so. No I dont work for JB anymore. Im now recruiting independently for about 15 companies.
