How often are local truck drivers home?
Most regional truckers drive about half of what long haul drivers do, on average about 50,000 miles per year. In some cases, when you are driving locally you will be able to get home every night, though many local drivers work very long days. Many regional drivers come home two to three times each week.
How long are you gone as a truck driver?
How long do drivers usually stay out on the road? Over-the-road drivers typically stay out for 4-6 weeks at a time before coming home. There are, however, many drivers who prefer to stay out longer, or take home time somewhere other than their actual home.
Where do freight brokers find loads?
They look at load boards, which the oftentimes have a subscription to, and they choose loads they may be able to cover, those within their purview and available lanes, and bid on them. If they can offer better terms that other brokers or carriers who want the load, the shipper may accept their offer.
