    Yeah, the 10th and the 25th. I won't mind it once my checks start coming in, it's not like I've never been paid bi-weekly, so I'll learn everything on how to manage my money again haha

    Normally I do the same. We get paid weekly, but I put one check into a savings account where I dont touch it, then one check into my spending account. Sometimes if I manage my money good I can get two weeks off my spending account and do a double savings.

    When I got paid weekly I went nuts the first few times lol. I was paid bi weekly at one job, then paid once a month at the sheriffs office, then went to trucking and started being paid weekly. It's nice, but I don't mind bi weekly, if I can survive monthly pay, I know I'll be fine on bi weekly

    Picked up my load from Laredo, got some poles going to North Dakota. First time with a 53' flatbed. Not too shabby

    Tonight I'm just west of Abilene, on i20 at the AmBest. Headed straight up us83. I didn't wanna take i35, figured I'd take the scenic route and avoid the big cities and their traffic conditions.
