[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 237580, member: 1957"] My understanding of truck lines like J B Hunt is you will be on the road for 3-5 weeks at a time with one day off given for each week on the road. I can't speak for UPS freight (LTL freight) but it's my understanding the UPS sleeper teams (small parcel) are on the road anywhere from 3-5 days a week. The remaining days are at their origin domicile (meaning your house) and, no, you can't take your truck home with you. If it's UPS sleeper team (small parcel) and you don't mind being in a truck for 3-5 days at a time I would jump on it. I really don't know alot about UPS freight other than they handle palletized, LTL (less than load) freight and shipments that clearly won't make it through our hubs conveyors and slides (such as 55 gal. drums, big spools of wire, etc.) Is UPS freight on dedicated 3-5 days runs? I don't know. UPS sleeper teams (small parcel) are "no touch" freight and keep the truck moving to make time commits. I would find out if you're being offered a UPS Freight (LTL) job or a UPS sleeper team (small parcel), "keep the truck moving" type of job. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
