I got a question for all you guys, have you ever taken a break from trucking? I'm talking like months to years break. I find that twice a year I gotta take a vacation or I lose my marbles.
I'm thinking I'll just have to leave the industry for a while. Dealing with idiots all day and not having a life is getting to me.
Looking forward to hearing your responses.
Anyone take a break from trucking?

I take a break when the market forces me too because the rates drop too low or there isn't much to haul. Sometimes that's several months long. Everyone should take breaks IMO. If you don't pause sometimes you just end up being a rodent stuck on a hamster wheel. Life is too short to be slaving it away.
