    The work week is done. The girlfriend is up at Ravinia seeing the Violent Femmes and getting hammered and has family crap the rest of the weekend. All required stops were made on my way home. I have no plans to even open the front door again until Sunday when I take the garbage cans out to the curb and I'm not setting the alarm clock at all.

    Life is good.....

    My vacation ends Monday, I hate the world right now. Started burning old furniture in the fire pit, started out with corona and lime. Ended with the red and white can of bud. Been outside for 10 days now and look like a really burned almost white guy. Will tan later but I hurt right now. Monday will be the hardest day of my life, I hate driving anymore. 5.5 years till retirement!!!

    Fcc did me a favor when I passed on drinking they're Kool aid and they basically fired me lol.
    I make more money at hill bros on a 50 hour week , home every night with Sunday and Monday off and have good blue cross and blue shield insurance with dental too at slightly less than fcc .
    No road expenses and get paid for every minute of my day no matter what I'm doing .
    Sat in a dock today for 3 hours and got paid for every minute of it .

    I agree , I just slow down now and let the idiots pass me.
    I love terminal fuel so no more fuel island bs at truckstops ...getting paid to fuel is nice too.

    Who would have ever thought it would come to this as most of us started in the 80s ?
    And loved the otr life
    Now most of us that have been in this buz 30 years or so hate this job because of what it has evolved into .
    No pride and no professionalism.for the most part ..
    When I started at dart in 87 we wore uniforms and took pride in being a professional.

    I find myself going back to ‘80 with my thoughts and memories when I started OTR. Thats all I have, is my memories of how it use to be. I’ll never see again.
