Hey guys, I’m new here and am looking to possibly start a career as a truck driver. I don’t currently have a CDL and have done some research on multiple companies on their paid CDL training. I’ve narrowed down two companies, Maverick and TMC. My only worry as of now is with me being a new driver that’s going to be getting trained...is I have a wife who is currently pregnant and is due around August/September. I didn’t know if anyone knew how lenient either of those companies would be with having a small amount of home time once my wife gave birth. Now I’m not saying I want a month long vacation once my baby is born but just a reasonable 1 week or so. I realize that I wouldn’t be getting paid for said time off but would still like that week to spend with my wife and newborn. If anyone has any suggestions or pointers I would appreciate it! Any and all criticism accepted. Thanks!!!!
