Fun fact, airfare to San Juan, Puerto Rico is cheaper than airfare to Miami, from where I'm at. Next year, I'm planning a week there with the GF.
tscottme Thanks this. -
Take time off.
Discuss with your boss. You've been there a long time. Clearly you both like what you've got to offer and he wouldnt want to lose you. Tell him you need to get away for a few days and relax.xlsdraw, G13Tomcat, tscottme and 1 other person Thank this. -
Yeah, The boss never gets burn out, it's that boss's job to understand. my boss is a fanatical company policy, text book junkie always trying to sell the product.
put in for some time if yah can -
6 days a week for 18 years, gee I am stumped as to what you are complaining about. suck it butter cup and do 7 days a week that should solve everything.
scythe08, thejackal and Protein Hauler Thank this. -

I avoid it by breaking up the monotony.
Out on the road for 4 - 6 weeks,.. then home for 7 - 10 days. Only getting 1 day a week at home, or a few days after being out would get old real quick.
Need time to relax, enjoy life, actually have some quality time with family an friends. Need enough time to enjoy a hobby.
Life will quickly pass you by if you let it.

A little time off of course.
If you're going to the same places all the time see if you can mix it up a bit.
I think we all go through stages where we get a bit tired of the same old routine, especially this time of year.
If you can cut back a day.
Other than changing the job look at what you can do different when the truck isn't moving. -
I'm a mean owner, I expect my drivers to work 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year without a break.
Yeah if you believe that, i have a bridge to sell you.
We have instituted a policy that prevents burnout, we have the drivers who don't take breaks (longer than three days) to get the heck out of the truck and spend some time somewhere else - no where near it. My manager makes arrangements for the driver to get to a hotel, or some other activity, sometimes at my expense. I've learned that you can't keep doing this and be productive.EuropeanTrucker, BeHereNow97, Brettj3876 and 7 others Thank this.
