@bobby_loads: Balancing a massive paycheck with a life at home is the ultimate OTR curse! When the market is hot, staying on the road means stacking serious cash—but burnout kills. Empty seats don't pay bills, but a life spent entirely in a sleeper berth isn't living. What is the absolute sweet spot to maximize revenue before the road completely takes over? 2 weeks, 3 weeks, or a full month out? #trucks #trucking #OTR #TruckDriver #OwnerOperator #HomeTime #TruckingLife #CDLHolder

5-6 weeks out. 5-7 days home. Some of my lanes gets me through home on random 34 hour resets and random overnights.

Ramish :

5 months out 1 week home time

David Wilkens :

I'm based in Vincennes Indiana if you live nearby my deal works great because we load everything Fri to deliver Monday so they leave out Sunday to make delivery Monday stay busy all week then usually get back to load again Fri for Monday so you usually get Fri night all day Saturday and Sunday morning off ... it seems to be a good balance that way... 😁

Mister_relentless :

What do you think you would want?

thomasballard649 :

Booze :

No lies. If I’m running like an idiot and stacking money. I don’t have time to go home. If I gotta fight for runs and miles and busting my ass. I’ll just go to the house lol

Realmccoy :

Just worked 3 months straight to pay off 30+k in repairs. Taking advantage of this market for next month then taking 10 days off after building the bank act again

David :

I’m out 4 weeks then go home for a week

curtisanderson361 :

I stay out 3week then get a load home and stay for weekend then head back Monday

Juan Vazquez :

3 weeks max. I don't know about the rest of the drivers but after that 3rd week I start going crazy. I got a hot wife so fuck the road.

Sven Barnes :

I stay out 2 to 3 months but I live in south Florida

Austin :

Weekends try to sleep at the house Thursday night and go deliver/reload Friday coming back thru the house is the best

otrtruckdriverlower48usa :

I stay out for 6 weeks at a time but my company requires 3 weeks out

حامد✨ :

The actual thing is that when they are back home it’s difficult to get them out 😂

michaelbranch001 :

Miguelrgv :

I get home every week with 3k miles a week

🦂filiy :

Two weeks or 3 let's get this paper.

Hollywood Hutch :

Every weekend. That’s why I’m on my own authority because by Friday evening I’m low on hours anyway.

Chris Hawkins536 :

Every weekend unless you want to be single

Luke Oehlerking :

Back home for your reset is ideal, 5 days on the road and 2 days at home was probably my favourite. Also I found it best to run 2 weeks the second week running on rolled over hours and then reset back home
