[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 4306287, member: 51847"] Our sleeper supervisor once told me they try to come back through the domicile at least once in case of illness or family emergency. I've heard of a few instances where drivers are literally dropped at an ER while on the road. My friends sleeper run was put on 5 days, 13 TA's and close to 6k miles for peek. About 2 days in they had a 10 hour breakdown on road and he said the only reason ICC didn't struggle with their schedule was because they pretty much hauled empties around all peek. Had they been hauling loads they couldn't have skipped TA's as easily to get back on schedule. Being out 9 days would make it hard to be on schedule if you had any type of long delay. You should try to get at least on a run once as coverage to try it out. We've had some good feeder drivers go out in coverage and have to bail after the first trip back through our domicile. I hope it works out for you. [/QUOTE]
