absolutely unbelievable DWI, one of our company drivers

It scares most of us, but like with anything, the more you practice the better you get at it. He needs to grow some balls, man up.

 

You do realize many driving jobs these days are regional? Meaning home every week , many times during the week.

 

53 ft trailer doesn't mean OTR job.
They are also local.
Eventually your your going to have to deal with them.
You think your somehow smarter then the rest of
Us who've already done all this stuff.
Your not.

Your working 3 years for 2 years pay at a good job.
Add that up over 10 years.
You can't hide in woods forever.

You called all road drivers stupid and they worked for free.
Now your sitting on a milk farm for free and #####ing
And complaining about it.
While making half the pay. Now who's the stupid one.
But you know everything so what's the point.
You'll be on here next week complaining about
Something else.

 

Exactly right. Not your problem and none of your business. If your boss is dumb enough to let the guy continue to drive he's either trying to slide him past his insurance company or he's paying a super premium.
Either way it shows bad business judgement.
In the mean time just shut up and drive your truck. You've already made up your mind to leave and I'm sure you'll be letting us know what a wonderful new job you find. Wonderful, that is, until reality sets in and you start to whine again about things you don't like.

 

“Life is not full of easy choices”

You’re right... But it is about dealing with the consequences and sacrifices that comes with those choices.

I get your position 100%. Correct me if I’m wrong but we are in similar spots in life. I’m 23, have 2 kids (2, 4) and one on the way. Yes with the same woman and yes we are together. Only one was planned (i know... vasectomy. I’m on it). Point is, we, like you and yours, made the choice to have those kids even if they were initially an accident and terribly timed. Has that road been easy for you? Having to grow up and be at least some form of a man at 18 because now people depend on you? Sure wasn’t for me. But I did it just like I’m assuming you have. In this example did complaining and being negative about everyone around you ever help? If you said yes, then stop reading now.

Point is, every action has a reaction. You seem to be looking at what’s right in front of you and kicking the dirt and complaining because you aren’t happy, satisfied, or someone else is doing something you don’t approve of. Think about what you want for yourself, your career, your family. Take that internal conversation and express it to your wife and find out what she wants, and what both of you want long term. Get the big picture. The rest follows, and even the hard stuff is easier when you know WHY you are where you are.

Whatever you decide or come up with, STOP COMPLAINING AND BEING NEGATIVE. Seriously. You will never be happy and you will only bring others down by continuing. No one wants to hear it, including most on here. We know why we are doing what we do. Do you?
