Werner Or May? 10 Or 13 Speed?

I'm noticing that everyone is under the impression that just because a terminal is close by means its a huge positive. I strongly disagree, and if anything, I think it's actually a huge disadvantage.

Consider this:

When you go home you'll need to drive the car another hour home. Who wants to drive an hour everytime they have to go home?

You're acquiring another gas bill by doing all that driving.

Another thing, I'm assuming you won't be having someone pick you up. So you'll need an extra car to leave at the terminal for days on end.

I can't tell you how awesome it feels to get your first solo truck and take it home to show it off to the family. Oh wait! You can't take the truck home. Being forced to park at the terminal kills all of this excitement.

And worse of all, they won't let you take the trailer home with you. So after Hometime, the first thing you'll be doing is driving back to the yard on your own gas money and praying that they have either a preloaded trailer or an empty trailer for you to take. And believe me, I've never seen a terminal abundant with empty trailers.

Listen, they'll still get you home on time without a terminal nearby. You'll deliver to a facility nearby then drive the truck and trailer home. In your case, you'll park it at the truck stop. You'll save yourself a lot of hassle including gas money.

In my case, I usually delivery to either the Bay Area or Central CA then drive a few hours deadhead (trailer with no freight) to the Walmart three miles from my house. Zero gas money and I take the trailer home so I don't have to worry about "will I have a trailer?" when I'm at home.

I'm not trying to persuade you to go anywhere. But maybe give this terminal idea a second thought.

Does prime allow you to take your solo truck home?

Because I have a field that I can park a truck and a trailer in. Not worried about getting it stuck it has a large area that has gravel.
