    Truer words have not been spoke. If it’s burning you out, do something else for awhile. Maybe McDonalds or maybe something else without as much fryer grease.

    Maybe just better planning and/or being more selective of the loads one takes can make all the difference?

    By January I’ll have had my run for 7 years. The guy I replaced ran it for 17.

    We all get burned out from time to time. Trucking is not an easy 9 to 5 job. Take some time off, weather it be a long weekend or a vacation.

    I sure do miss manual trans trucks with strong clutches. I've tried and tried to do a burnout in my Volvo and just can't get em spinning.

    I don't know how you do it. One my friends at our company has been on his run for 17 years. I just couldn't.

    There’s a degree of security to be found in the predictable, and knowing it won’t be anywhere near Washington DC.
