    Reddaway is trying to kill me! WTF is going on down here? It's like there's too much freight and not enough drivers! I'm thinking of asking for some time off. At least a couple of days. I'm starting to wish I was back OTR. Have to do something to get those thoughts out of my mind.
     
    CenutryClass Thanks this.

    just take some vacation time

    Ok heres how to get the OTR thoughts out of your head... Smelly lizard infested dirty truck stops, no where to park, living in a truck for time.... Or a nice LTL gig sleep in a BED every night at least, making a couple hundred more a week

    @Cool35 making all that $$$ just remember 2009 when freight dried up. We're suppose to start soon hired a bunch of new guys and still hiring. We have an extra board that's bigger then last year.

    @ACH after you mention that about Otr. I ain't ever going back!! Mr easy money.

    Harrisburg is a milk run, 221 miles each way. Can do a 9 hour day, no drop or hook unless doing a via but all the senior men do them. Sometimes u get a rail yard or a Scranton but doesn't add miles but hook times

    I know guys. I think I'm just burned out. TM let me have a few days off. At least he has noticed. He actually asked me if I needed some time off. Guess I was looking a little haggard. It wouldn't be so bad if I had a bid. This extra board is a killer this year! I'm sick of running days. I used to only run nights and now it's mostly day runs. Going up and down I-5 all day long every day makes for a miserable day! Will be much better when I move to Texas.

    ACH, hope you like Canada. Maybe you will get that bid since no one wants it. Good luck!

    Glad they were cool about it. That's a sign they like you at least. I might not get a Canada bid as my friend wants it but I could get his sun-thurs 7am subsequent turn bid. He makes an average of 850-1000 a week after taxes on that. He just got his one year in so now he got his raise as well
