Do you hear what we hear? It’s the sound of sleigh bells and the holidays quickly approaching. Ready to go home for the holidays? It takes a little planning to ensure you can go home for the holidays. One of those things includes saving money for additional expenses.

Whether you’re an independent contractor or a lease driver, you have to plan ahead. As an independent contractor, you have to start saving money early to cover expenses while you’re home. As a company driver, you need to make sure you request time off for the holiday well enough in advance so your dispatcher can route you home. 

In this video, I’ll explain how you can put together a budget, list out your expenses, save money and earn more money. I’ll also talk about the importance of focusing on safety and not overextending yourself.
