    I doubt anything can be offered but I thought I'd ask. I've got a 3500 watt inverter, big fridge, microwave, surround sound with a sub, video games, unlimited internet Hotspot, super comfortable bed. I got it as good as it gets out here but it just isn't cutting it.

    Also, I can fuel wherever as long as it's loves, they pay for my insurance, no forced routing, basically i have all the freedom anyone can ask for without owning a truck. The life is just old and honestly just a bunch of bs day in and day out.

    Move to Chicago, the homies will get your wife and kid on drugs. Steal everything of value in the house. Living in the truck will look better.

    If you can last another year without losing your marbles then you've only got another 364 days to go. I'd find something differemt a lot sooner than that, hating waking up every morning and cursing everybody and everything you see all day every day sucks ###.

    Where have I heard this before? Me,,,about a dozen times and I was a local jerk.. Nice to see some things never change. Go on the dock for a week, you'll beg to get back in the truck. And btw, Bugs Bunny is considered racist too.:crybaby:

    4000+ miles a week seems hard on ELD. Try running less miles a week

    From the sounds of your thread it's time to get a unionized local job. Yes, different stress such as Managers harassing you for small things like not in proper uniform, bumping off pf certain routes etc. But at the end of every day you get to go home and see you wife and daughter and earn the same if not more!

    You said you took time off in January, you bother to do anything, like a vacation of any kind?

    Maybe an actual vacation is what's needed. I know when we go once a year I'm happy to get back to relaxing at work.;)
