I left about the time you got there. Living where I do just wasn't going to work on elogs, my truck was fresh out of warranty and scaring me.
So I parked it and came back here. 500 HP in a brand new hood, paper logs, 2 full days @ home every weekend and randomly but regularly home during the week. I've been asked not to discuss last years earnings,, but trust me, I made more than you did, LOL. (I also get decent health insurance and paid vacation)
But even with all that, I'm still making plans to bail and buy another truck. Why? My independence is worth it to me.
It's purely my opinion, but I believe that 90% of o/o's could make more money as drivers. Some of us so value the independence and control that we pay the price, the rest are smoking better stuff than I can find.

Id definately make more money if i got a real job. The problem is they'd expect me to actually work more than half the year.Last edited: Apr 11, 2019

Well the truck is all fixed and ready to roll. The repair cost me $1,605. Now I just get to wait until Monday so I can get a load and start my week
