    Clearly your life is out of balance. You have much work to do.

    I mean I took a $1,000 out of bank.
    I'm on hometime. I should have been able to take that $1,000 and go to casino.

    Instead, spent $500 getting all that maintenance done to truck, when I could have gotten it done on the road ( not on hometime ). Pay the terminal manager where truck is kept $200 for 2 months parking. Another $125 for truck, engine & engine compartment, under carriage wash.

    That leaves $175.

    Total BS. I could have turned that $1,000 into $2,000 or $3,000 at casino during a proper hometime.

    Yeah, it wasn't your planning that put the truck in that position was it? But it's supposed to be your problem? No, your right. A week out is a week out regardless of whether the dispatchers "run around like a chicken with it's head cut off" works or not.

    I know I have a house because I carry a picture of it with me.

    This new math just does not always make sense, If I understand this, you lost $2000 dollars, but ended up only keeping $175. Plus did not get any home time.
