SLip-Seating Option Outside of the Terminal
I have had a difficult time getting an answer to this question and I am hoping somebody else knows. I am wanting to drive for a company that allows the slip-seating option so that I can have more time off. I do not live near a terminal but I do live along the I-5 corridor in Medford, OR. I do have the option of driving for Schneider or Knight and keeping the truck but I'm assuming I will be out 14 days at a time to get only 2 days off. Does anyone know of a slip-seating option when you DON'T live near the terminal? From what I can tell, you need to return the truck to the terminal in order to have this option. Are there circumstances where you could return the truck to your location (mine is Medford, 4.5 hours from Portland) IF there is another person in your area that wants to do the slip-seating option or perhaps returning it to somebody in an area closer such as Eugene, if there is a person wanting to do this option? Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks!

Time Off
I understand the need to be gone for long periods of time but is there an option of staying home longer if you prefer or do you only have 2 days off if you are not doing a slip seat option? I am going to do this but I am hoping there is more home time than 2 days off after driving for 14. Am I better off seeking a regional or dedicated route in which case I would be out for 5 days and home for 2 if that is the case? Thank you!
