    I never bothered turning it until I got home when I ran system. I would always take a few days off and that money helped keep the paychecks more consistent.
     
    19d and Mortarmaggot Thank this.

    I like the money now, especially since my wife has a good job, and like 19D, I'm a member of the check a month club.

    I was definitely delayed by weather but I want turn that in because I had plenty of time to get to delivery. I just wanted to make it in 2 pulls vs 3. So I did some ice road trucking , but after finally getting parked and realizing my nerves were shot. It will be the last time I ever drive through crap like that again.

    Suit yourself. The way I look at it is:

    They dispatched you on a load with layover built into it. Stopping for weather delay just cashes that time in early. Driving 60 mph at .50 cpm is $30 an hour. That same more stressful hour only pays $15 at 30mph. Same thing happens when you get stuck in traffic for an hour. Your mph average drops, reducing your pay. They do me no favors with 14 hours free before layover starts so I do them none on this. Sitting for 38 hours pays the same as 24 the way they do it.

    This evening thru Monday we're expecting 4-6 in. in the Chicagoland area and probably worse to the north.
    Morning rush will suck and just screw up traffic most of the day.
    Be careful. I just have a local load and go run so i'll be in this crap all day
