    So true. If I was in your position, I’d probably stay put, too. The money starting off isn’t much better, but the opportunity for advancement is much better.

    This is kind of where I'm at. I would like to have a 9-to-5 job where I could actually eat right and exercise on the regular. But doing so would cost me probably $15k a year.

    Got one of those annoying loads where having more than half a tank of fuel would put me overweight. Having to fuel up every five hours and having to scale out before I fuel so that I know how many gallons to put in.

    8 pounds per gallon. 75% of the weight goes on the drives, the other 25% goes on the steers

    And 6.5 miles/gallon so I can overfill it just enough to be legal by the time I hit the next weigh station.

    Finished my reset in indy after dropping my gatorade and got preplanned to the pepsi place on 78th street. Get there and the gatorade wasn't even made yet. Sat there for 6 hrs before the planner decided to deadhead me back to Wytheville being gatorade needs empties.
