Burned Out Local LTL Driver - Need Advice

I assumed y'all was talking about gasoline/diesel tankers but maybe u meant gas not liquid?

Of course ther'd be no surge issue with that kind of tanker but a big blow up risk

 

I get to that many hours in a day and I think "why am I not home yet?" and I still have 100+ miles to drive back to the warhouse, than have to unload trailer, do some yard jockeying (with a daycab not a jockey truck so manually cranking landing gear, opening swing doors for 53 foot trailers (liftgate run has 48 but company's otr drivers have swing doors and ltl drivers have to jockey them))

And that might include a few more pick ups on the way back before i even get to the yard, or after that jockeying a last minute drop and hook or live load "over the road style" instead of ltl-style freight pickup with some time inside a warehouse counting freight etc

 

Sorry to hear that happened. Hope u make it thru the social security hoops.

I have no intention of trading my health for $. I'm going to stick it out here just a little while longer so I can line up a better job before quitting and doing something way healthier (and hopefully completely out of the trucking/warehouse/freight industry), but as soon as I find that better job I'm out of here like a bat out of (you know where).
