    because I can, and it's about money....period

    Before one of you mega fleeters pops off with "you need to find a better paying job", I make great money and I make even better money running the way I do..

    Well I said it in an earlier post, but I will say it again. If you run smart(well compensated) and you run hard, you make better money. Not everyone is cut out to WORK hard and smart, but for those of us who do, we reap the rewards! That's all I have to say!
     
    Tall Mike and truckon Thank this.

    Total burn out job. That's the kind of gig you do for a few months or maybe 6 if you're hard up for a paycheck then bail on as soon as realistically possible. Just can't have a life whatsoever running hard 5-6 a week, taking your measily 1-1.5 days off to do laundry and chores around the house before doing it all over again. It's fun and games for awhile but it catches up to you eventually.
