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

Time for a new car soon. Don’t send me the bill. lol[/QUOTE]

been sitting on the couch 4 days with a minor hand infection
gonna call in sick in the morning
lady is pretending to take care of me
watching football and serving the beers
I know that would break you
I got 3 nice looking chevys
have not had a car payment in more than 10 years
got tools to fix anything except engine machine work
always on the lookout for a great deal on a newer Camaro or Corvette

 

Same here Bif, bought a ceiling fan a few weeks ago, I'm still installing, beer got in the way, and this stupid site... I was going to go back to work on Tuesday, I think I will push that out to Wednesday... Need to get that fan up and do something else... It was important, but I have already forgot. I hope I remember tomorrow... I did clean the garage yesterday, need to pull the plow out yet, but I still have time... I need to run up to the corner deli, they have a full kitchen that churns out some darn good food...

And I don't make near $83,000 a year.

 

My two cents is this. If he’s happy so be it.
The way look at it he keeps this up he can
Retire early and be set up. I know a guy been driving for 41 years been living in his truck for 15 of them. No house, a car he keeps at his terminal. He loves it, happiness to each his own.
Wish I did this years ago that’s driving and saving like that, I’d be on a beach right now retired.
Good luck to you and keep packing that money

 

Ain't that the truth, hindsight is always 20/20... I just stay with this racket due to the time off I get, not so much the money. But, you still need money to live, we all have bills of one sort or the other and responsibilities. If life were easy, we would all be retired on a beach or our favorite fishing hole. I wish the young man luck.

 

May i ask ... what on earth is a hand infection ?

 

we haul from lumber mills to pulp and pellet mills
got an almost microscopic wood sliver in the right hand
lost my bifocals and i could not find it
got a 1 inch round white spot going then it blew up big wednesday and i barely made it through the day
very painful rolling tarps and connecting/disconnecting hydralics
the providence health insurance and providence olympia clinic are excellant
they want to make it workmans comp but i just want to expedite returning to work without all that rigamarole

 

I assume you already told them it was work related. It’s *generally* best to do that just to cover yourself in the event it becomes more serious than initially thought.

 

I have O/O friends that want to pay you .44cpm on 1099 with their older not the best equipment. Doing brokered loads, sitting around etc lol

So I'd have to say you're speaking truth about everything you said.

 

you should get sum at least every week but your limited to the "truckstop cuties"
