    I’m thinking going back local, hourly pay. Just debating if it’s gonna be more of the same. Or maybe better if paid hourly for all my time. Decisions decisions.

    Glad I that mixed precip in Idaho and Montana is behind me. I’m over snow for the foreseeable future. Or until I’m home and don’t have to go out in it unless I wanna torture myself. Lol.

    Not so stable in the truck driving. It is what it is.

    Yeah I know. Not sure if I really care though. Money ain’t worth it since I’ve been back. 2-3 less than $900 take home then maybe one 14-1500 one. That take home I’m having a hard time justifying being out. That’s not counting the dead time at docks or maintenance and truck still not being fixed or water forced in person safety meetings all unpaid. Sounding better and better being at home n my bed my crapper my shower healthy good food and most importantly my cats.

    Company driver life.

    And the better one's aren't going to touch you with the job hopping track record.

    So's........ you're only making it worse for yourself. All mega's are the same.

    Most companies are the same.
