This should sum it up, all @ 51 CPM with .14 being per diem.

been doing it 21 years
some years 40 miles
run the semi less than 400 miles a day and get paid for every thing loading unloading fuel repairs you name it
got a real job and a real life.
gonna volunteer to work next saturday
my farm that sold and home always have big gains in value
maybe the kids will enjoy the benefits of all that eating slop in the truck and spending all your unpaid time in the truck 2
im looking forward to retiring soon and getting all the fish and game in the puget sound and olympic mountains

 

Jeez, happiness is whatever you are content with. Some people want no responsibility, and by choice or not, are ok being homeless and living in a truck. Others enjoy actually having a house to come home to nightly and weekends off, and getting paid hourly for their time.

So what if I put 9-10 miles a day on my vehicle commuting back and forth to work. I get roughly 13.5 hours at home daily. Some people enjoy their significant other, and actually like their family and want to spend time with them.

There is more to life than work, some of us actually want to enjoy it. Oh and some of us guys with roll up doors that are home daily make more than otr, but we're kinda humble and don't need to post pics in a "D" measuring contest

 

Lovin this life
been off 4 days one vacation day and one sick day 233$ each
trying to use a vacation day every other friday 3 day weekend before my anniversary when i get a bunch more

weekends drive 50 miles to check on the elderly parents and cruisin in the city to see friends
all normal people get a good job home family vehicles and social life
you are committed to the life and im glad there are still white knights out there

 

Why are people that are so happy spending all that time with their families on an Internet forum instead of with their great family and friends?

 

This is my family and friends.

 

Where do you think a car is worn out at 50k mi???...you're living a fairy tail world

 

I don’t understand why anyone would sit in their easy chair on a Sunday watching a bunch of washed up, retired football players snap a football on a miniature field, all the while yapping and professing to know that the Ravens will win today.

But, here I am. *sigh*

Oh well, the concubine will be finished cleaning the closet soon and I’ll be able to change back into a bat and watch the games whilst hanging upside down.

Now, that’s living!

 

I love you too Larry. Btw, you wouldn’t happen to be a Kentuckian would you?
