The Best Home Time
Topic 22828 | Page 1
Prime is awesome, but the home time is 4 days every month. if you take off longer, you need to turn your truck in and get reassigned when you come back. i run through the terminal to take an extra couple days while seeing the doctor or getting the truck fixed.
Roehl has various times you can choose. I just mentioned on another thread, they have a 7 day OTR 7 days. they also habe options like 14 days out 3 days home. etc.
keep in mind, the more home time, the less the annual pay.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
