    If so she was a ####

    My girlfriend wants me to leave trucking for good no way I’m doing that she can take a hike if she does that it would suck but I make decent money now I hope Crete will be my long term company but lately I’ve wanted to turn my truck in and find something else in trucking the 500-700 mile trips with shags is really burning me out

    The problem is that issues and anger build up until a driver finally snaps and quits without a plan. Start looking now. Tell yourself you're going to invest 15 or 30 minutes *every* day looking for other jobs and, if you decide to, quit on your terms... with a PLAN.

    You don't have to stay OTR. There are driving jobs with weekends that give you a life, allow for relationships and pay well. People who tell you differently just don't know what they're talking about. I came off the road in July of last year and lost 25 pounds since.

    Looking for something that I don’t need to be out 5 weeks I’m hoping to only be out 3 or 4 weeks hopefully less then that and take the stress off of my right eye

    Why do you have to be out 5 weeks? I rarely stay out over the 21 days, and I make good miles.
