    Well, then maybe that will present itself as an opportunity for the guys that don't wish to move or commute.
    Good luck all.....

    With fuel prices where they are, is that commute worth it?

    I do about 270 a week not including Saturday work and that’s tough enough sometimes, but I have to deal with the level of stupid that lurks in a big city. GP’s situation out there in the desert might be a far easier deal even if it is a lot more miles.

    If I can’t get a mortgage for $1000 a month on a small rancher or modular or something like that, I’m not going to bother. I refuse to get roped into $2500 a month for a $300K shoebox when my rent’s not even half that.

    You are correct. Rural Arizona is a WAY different commuting world than Coastal or big city commuting. Honestly, having worked out of FLG before, I love the place. The commute is literally the only thing that will suck about it.
     
    jmz and Mike2633 Thank this.

    I guess we're gonna see. FXF is giving me a significant bonus to stay on, so if necessary, that'll buy a cheap fuel-efficient micro machine for a work car. I was thinking of maybe just getting a motorcycle again, but it wouldn't fly in the winter.
     
    jmz, Mike2633, Cardfan89 and 1 other person Thank this.

    This is today. They're KILLING me with the taxes. I worked 7 days last week and did about 3400 miles. My regular run is only 2110 miles.

    Thats brutal. Do you contribute to a 401k? I dont truck anymore but my paychecks look like this and I don't lose that much, Should reduce taxes a bit.
