You have basically to give up on your life, health and yourself to "run hard" to make a few extra pesos that would not make a dent in the looming hospital bills. It is sad to read so many drivers who see nothing wrong with that picture, more than that they take pride in giving up on their ...humanity basically. I dont really know any other occupation where this idiotic mindset is so prevalent.

 

Wrong.....I don't give two ####s how someone else wants to run.

And how bout you stop the personal attacks against me and @pattyj. We haven't made a single against you. You are the one getting mad because we dont agree with your argument that good pay and good miles is bad.

How bout a picture of one those "bad" messages.

 

Yeah, 9hrs a day is running real hard. Which is what I do. I stay out as long o do by choice. My kids are in school. But I'm home when I need to be and for 7-14 days at a time.

 

I've been around. You cant run 9 hrs/day like a clock, it takes clock like dispatch and outside circumstances, which is rare. I used to run 6 months straight, not by the book, but extremely rarely it was seriously stupid, and yet at the end of those streaks I've heard voices and whispers in the parking lots, I woke up without remembering where I was at, why I was there, and occasionaly I could not recollect my name right away. Those are natural mental outcomes of "running hard", I dont really know how to get proud of that. You can get proud of overcoming things, working hard, etc. if it buys you a slice of normal life. The trucking biz is not that generous, it sentences you for more of hard labor and sacrifice with no light at the end in sight.

 

Let's face the brutal facts of this posting. He's a lost cause. He will never be happy with any company. Move on.

 

Some days are shorter than others and some a little longer. I do it all the time. I just happen to be at company where's it's possible.
