    Burn out?! In 4.5 years?! I’ve been trucking 24 years. It’s what you make of it. I don’t buy into that lifestyle bs. It’s a job. If you isolate yourself then yes you will become depressed. If you don’t exercise or take time to get out of the truck. Yes you will become depressed and overweight. If you treat it as a lifestyle then yes it’s a miserable existence. But it can be a decent job. If you treat it like a job. And use it to finance a normal lifestyle

    Another customer, another issue. Got empty in Elkton just fine. Headed to the next shipper up in Vineland. Got up here and called the number they had on the load notes (call before arriving). The person who answered had such a sharp Asian accent I could barely understand him, but I got the gist of what he said. Found where you check in, hit the intercom button, and the person who answered sounded like they were using a 2 way radio from WW2 over a PA in an echo chamber. (Another words, totally incomprehensible) I think he said he'd be right there, but 15 min later, I am still standing outside freezing my ### off. So I went back to the truck, found a spot in the lot where the drop trailers go, backed into a spot and I am going to bed. I couldn't care any less if this load gets to the receiver on time or not. I truly see why so many of our drivers just don't try any harder than they do. I haven't run more than 500 miles per day since that delay at the Tyson plant(on purpose), and have no plans to bust my nutz for these places. A problem load once in a while is normal trucking, but Creaffer has always had a problem with attracting problem child customers that have a hard time finding their head with both hands and a mirror with a "you are here" arrow pointing at it. And I am sick of dealing with the never ending frustration from having to put up with it.

    Living where he does is a great place to do things that don’t involve pulling a big box. He’s in a great spot to work for Farmer’s Oil or Accord pulling a bottle. Heck even the company I drive for, we have a guy that lives down in Wichita. He stays out during the week and takes a load of ethanol to Wichita to get home. 24/7 is looking for a fuel driver in Salina right now. Home daily but I’m guessing probably slip seating a daycab on night shift.

    If he’s going to quit driving anytime soon he needs to bale on the flease truck and go back to company driving before he quits.
