How Long Can a Company Keep a OTR driver Out
by: Hervy

Sonja,

Sorry you are going through such hard times. Average times out for most large carriers is 2 to 3 weeks. (might hit 4 every now and then) No decent trucking company is going to just keep a driver out indefinitely.

Plus you said that there is a contradiction of what he is telling you and telling your parents so I will let you think about that for a second.

I am not there and don't know who he works for but to me 5 minutes in 9 weeks sounds ridiculous. Most companies are coming around to realizing they get better quality drivers when they treat them just a little more human. If yous guys are anywhere near a major highway I don't see why he should be able to get home more often.

Does he get an attitude when you ask him about coming home more often than he does?

If I were you I would have a serious talk about the issue. Let him know how you feel and that is not a joke. His response should give you a good idea about where his head and heart is.

We are only hearing your side of the story and if you are truly trying to be supportive then, it really does not make sense for a man act the way you are describing.

Both of you should be making equal effort to make it work otherwise you will feel like the only one who cares about the relationship.

Tell him how you feel. Neglected and mistreated. Hopefully he just doesn't realize what he is putting you through.
