    I always worked 5 days. Till I was 32 yrs old. Then I went OTR regional. Still home weekends and twice during the week. Wasn’t till I was 40 and got my Authority. Then it was whatever. Still only averaged over 5.5 days a week, except for one yr. I ran 140k miles for peanuts. Rates were low, fuel was high. Grossed 203k spent 92k on fuel, at 6 mpg. 5.5 days seems to be average when working hard. Lately the whole concept of a consistent work week is unimaginable. It’s stay out 7-21 days. Take off 3-14 days. The time off always kills my bottom line. Trying to minimize time off. If I can the rest will take care of itself.

    Yesterday I woke up in Willacoochee AL. I doubt it’s named after a person. Must be an Indian name or phrase, as so many Alabama Town’s. I wondered what it could possibly mean.
