    Regional! Almost all companies have it! I started on a Western 11 state! Mom had a couple strokes, went to home daily!

    Yes roughly six states. It has its advantages,I rarely consult a map,I’ve learned a lot of shortcuts and going to the same places you have a good idea of what to expect.

    Yeah... only thing is that I want to continue living in a truck... want to save more money for at least a year or two...
    BTW, how is your mom doing?

    Yeah.. I see that as the only "advantage"... it becomes much easier to plan everything, considering the places are not too awful...

    I know you are not... seems to me that you achieved a pretty good place in your career... result of decades of great work. Now you can "rejoice" in your accomplishments and take it easy any way you want.
     
    062 Thanks this.

    I used to do that... not for the money though... but because of the way I have always been, I guess... Always go go go... don't like to leave for tomorrow what I can do right now... enjoyed a lot being on the road... always going to different places...
    I even became "Driver of the Year in 2017" in my former company and "Most Miles Driven Safely" in 2018... Not that I tried to be anything.. just did what I enjoyed doing...
    I made good money yes... But my health paid a lot for that "life style".... stress, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, no steady routine, not eating well or enough... now I am getting old and must take that in consideration... will not be able to do the same if I want to take care of myself...
