I look at it as I don’t have to run as hard to make the same. My last job I had to bust my ### to gross over a thousand, now, it’s rare that I don’t, and I’m hauling reefers for a mega. For where I am in life and what I need, this is fine.

So I am just about to complete te first week at my new old job and even though the company came up with even more BS (paperwork) I like it much better.Was given Las Vegas run so easy 3600 miles in 6-6.5 days (I left a bit early). Will make exactly same money ($2100) as my last week running East (3000 miles) but it was like a breeze of fresh air.You simply can't compare driving I 80/I15 West to driving I95 in PA and MD or God forbid CT!
