Running logging truck is paying into the $30/hr range in some places. Getting hard to find guys who know how to drive off of dry pavement. Home every night too in most cases.
Thinking about walking away.

I've used e-logs in some form or another since 2012 and have always done well in regards to miles and pay. I don't miss the days of doing paper log books and getting 10 hours of sleep a week.

So true. I love the open road headed west. The high winds, the elevation, all that stuff. I would love 11 state western driving but I don't live there.

so you’re wanting to walk away from a career because of...that? i don’t know you from adam but come on man. we all know that nothing worth having is easy to get. if it’s a different/better job you want - make it happen. crying to other drivers is not the answer.
