    My little pay cut run has been running consistently so far. The meet guy is from a small barn so that gets kinda crazy because he's always having issues with equipment.

    You didn’t fail Mike, sometimes you don’t know something won’t work until you try it. The hour and 20 drive on top of on call/extra board would be nearly impossible for many people. When I did on call I had a 10 minute drive and it still sucked at first. Hopefully which ever you pick will work for you better.

    So recently I’ve been doing a little better. My wife hates this schedule I’m on. The hard part is coming home from work I mean the drive home is hard lol and lately I’ve been Chicagoing a lot. Riding it out here for now. It’s alright but it can’t continue. I just came off of probation a couple days ago too.

    I came in around midnight last night and said ahh forget it and just took 10 hours off and actually it’s a nice quiet Saturday today. I left the terminal at 12:45pm and headed to Chicago. I’m in Chicago right now waiting for my hours to build back up and then I’ll probably go back to my home terminal.

    So you’re standing in line at the liquor store just west of 394? Lol. I don’t work far from there.
