","text":"Ask for an advance on your fuel card. Take the advance and buy an atlas and gps. Alway check gps suggestion against your atlas. Check addresses received from dispatch against Satellite Photos on Google Maps. Make sure it looks like a truck is actually supposed to be there. Call shipper or consignee to confirm locations seen on sat photo or street view if necessary. Never completely trust addresses received or they could send you downtown to a corporate office instead of a DC. Preplan preplan preplan preplan preplan preplan. I don’t care if you have to sit at a truck stop for two hours confirming pickup and delivery locations and follow a satellite photo along every road you plan to drive down. Do it. I’ll do it to make sure I see semis on the road in sat photos. The gps WILL screw you eventual. Never forget to check its work, don’t take it as gospel. If you miss a turn and it recalculates, recheck your gps’s solution, it could have edited your route further ahead. It can and will screw you if you trust it completely. ","replyToPid":14754}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Mega fleets give you 1 day off for every 1 week your otr. Minimum of 2wk otr. They usually don’t let you take more than 4 days of if you want to keep your truck. Turn it in and they’ll put someone else in it while your doing whatever. So staying otr longer doesn’t get you more hometime. ","replyToPid":0}

","text":"Bro you’re not going to last in trucking. You’re using a smartphone to talk on truckerpath but you don’t have an atlas, aren’t using google maps, hell truckerpath has a routing function but I wouldn’t trust it 100%. Who hired you?","replyToPid":14006}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I used to stay out 4 weeks, then take 5 days off as a lease operator. Dispatch didn’t like it, but I did it anyway. But honestly, if you can’t make money only being out 5 1/2 days, being out 4 weeks or more is going to bring any more money. I make more now, being home every weekend than I did when I was out for three or 4 weeks at a time.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I drive for CFI and stay out about 2 to 3 months then go home for about a week or more. We don't lose the days we build up and take as much time off as we want and keep our trucks. With at least 8 days notice you will almost always be home on the day you request.","replyToPid":0}
