Help me survive another year OTR

You've lost my sympathy with this post.

 

I still feel his pain. The OTR life ain't for everyone, me included. Got to a point where I was forced to abandon any sort of schedule outside of work, any sort of structured life. Had to hand my life over to the trucking gods. No Bueno for me

 

Get a job as a dispatcher, you can be one of the good ones.

 

Dirt poor Diesel Poor. Not much difference. There are Chicken Processing Jobs in Arkansas. As well as in the Corn Belt.

 

From OP's original post. About 4 or 5 sentences in.

"At times, I'd rather eat a bullet than drive one more mile. I constantly say I'm committing suicide one mile at a time."

Not sure what you read, but, sounds suicidal to me! Glad the OP is ok

 

Thanks... I may have missed some of that when I read the first time... All his following postings sounded less and less stressed... specially when he started writing about his race car passion and his plans for the future, and his family... It made me believe that he just needed a good venting and he wasn't a deranged person who was going to really kill himself...
Good to know he was able to move on with his plans and is making progress...

 

Why not quit the road and get a regular job???

 

I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this. And hope you get better. Try to sign up a local at your company to help release. And also you’re just being burn out. Take a layback and focus on your family. Sorry that you hate living in a truck like this. Find a different company if they don’t do local. Good luck pal and prayers for you.
