Home Every Other Week Trucking for Veteran Drivers

Biweekly home time is common in OTR and extended regional trucking. You drive for 10-14 days before taking 2-3 days off at home. This schedule maximizes your earning potential while still providing regular (though less frequent) home time. It is the most common schedule for OTR company drivers.

You are among the most sought-after drivers in the industry. With 5+ years of clean driving, you qualify for elite private fleets, specialized heavy haul, and the most lucrative owner-operator opportunities. Your experience commands top dollar and carriers will compete aggressively for your talent.

Tips

• 💡 Apply to private fleets — Walmart ($95,000+), Costco ($80,000+), Target, and HEB offer the best combination of pay, benefits, home time, and equipment in the industry. Competition is fierce but your experience qualifies you.
• 💡 If you are an owner-operator, consider getting your own authority instead of leasing on. With 5+ years of experience and industry contacts, operating independently lets you keep 100% of the linehaul rate.
• 💡 Diversify your income with training, consulting, or mentoring side work. Your knowledge is extremely valuable — CDL schools, safety departments, and new carriers will pay well for experienced driver input.
