Chris welcome to the forum. Before answering your questions I suggest (if you haven't already) you review/read the following links:

High Road Training Program

The above information will help you establish a realistic set of expectations and goals. Many new drivers enter this profession with lofty, ridiculous expectations that are quickly dashed when they begin to experience the realities of this industry. The High Road Training Program is a CBT curriculum designed to enable a new student driver to more easily pass the permit exam and grasp new concepts quickly and completely. It's highly recommended even if you have other study aids and guides.

Okay...so please realize that your Stevens offer is contingent on getting your CDL and passing Steven's physical, drug test and background check. You will also be going through an orientation process that is more like an extended interview. No guarantees. Once all of that occurs, you will be required to road train with a Stevens Trainer/Mentor for a set period of time, likely 4-6 weeks. Verify that with your recruiter. The recruiter quoted you an average of 3100 miles per week...I'd ask that same question of your trainer. In the first few months of your solo career, I think 2500-2700 is probably more realistic and will reduce the potential for disappointment. As you gain experience and begin to prove yourself as a solid performer, building a professional and trusted relationship with your dispatcher/driver manager, your mileage will begin to increase.

The home time is also somewhat subjective. In the beginning, you should try to run your a** off to learn as much as you can as quickly as you can. I know home-time is important, but it should be a secondary consideration to learning your new job. A job that is completely unlike anything you have ever attempted or experienced, with a very steep and at times unforgiving learning curve. IMO and many others on here share the same thought, stay out as long as you can. Try not to ask for home-time every two weeks. Your dispatcher/driver manager notices that you really want to work. Set yourself apart from the rest of the rookie pack and you are more likely to get the longer runs.

Good luck!
