Any negative or positive response will help.. Or any info of a better company I can apply for .. Looking to be home at least 7 on 2 off I don't care what days home just 7 on 2 off .. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.

Hey Jeffrey. We have a great listing of Truck Driving Jobs and you can even Apply For All Truck Driving Jobs With One Application. So you can have a look there.

As far as 7 on and 2 off I'm not sure if that's a common scenario or not. I know a lot of companies will get you home on weekends which usually works out to 5 on 2 off or 5 1/2 on and 1 1/2 off. That's actually better than 7 on 2 off as far as home time is concerned. And most OTR companies that keep you out for several weeks at a time offer one day off for every seven days on.

But browse our jobs and see what you come up with. What type of freight are you looking to haul? Some of the drivers here might be able to give you some company suggestions based on their findings.

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.
