Fired

you are suppose to make more and work less. i dont drive but maybe like 1900 or 2100 miles a week if that. i have finished up my week sometimes with 1800 or less.

 

I used to hate driving a lot of miles as well bc I was dedicated for a while but I changed. 3 turned to 4 the 4 to 5 and so on. Miles

 

when i was otr and had to work hard to make money. i ran 700 plus mile days. now im lazy and my pocks stay stuffed and i want to enjoy some stuff on the road.

 

In a perfect world you are right that's how it should be. But for me it's not. I've always had to grind. My last job was the easiest 7am-3:30 $25 per hour hardly any miles but a lot of physical labor.

 

Yeah I understand it's probably bc you do that same haul all the time. I know exactly how you feel and what you mean.

 

Half my miles are on dirt, so 6 or 700 miles are a long day, on the days I do 700, I will go ahead and do 750, because there is actually a place I can wake up and have breakfast or at least coffee. lol

 

find a job that pays your right. i was the same way until i got the job i have now. didnt know i could make so much money as a company driver. plus 7 weeks off a year vacation and full benefits.

 

Oh hell yeah and if you can't get a truckstop there is always Walmarts everywhere to sleep at

 

I've had those jobs and usually too good to be true. How long have you worked there? Don't count your chickens yet lol
