    Driving local every day IN Chicago? They're worth that kind of pay. Personally, there is no amount of money that would get me driving local in most big cities every day of my career. I do plenty of statewide and regional and still dislike the local stuff. I need that open road in my diet.

    I'm gonna be doing some runs there a few times per month coming from the east. And of course, it's going to be on weekdays. Happy happy, joy, joy.

    It may sound like you are bragging because you are, and there isn't a darn thing wrong with that.
