    I'll bet most drivers can make this post. I know I can...as I pretty much feel the same way. I hate to leave the house, wife, and pets, but once I'm out, I'm pretty happy and enjoying what I do.

    OK...now been at Holland for 17 weeks and here is a brief statistical analysis of where I am at compared with GTI after 17 weeks.
    Gordon- 31,926 miles @ 0.39 = $12,451 Ave: 1,878/week $732
    Holland - 41,671 @0.35 = $14,584 Ave: 2,451/week $857

    9,745 miles more $2,133
    573 miles per week more $125 per week more
    This includes the first week on both and one low mileage hometime week with Holland.

    Definitely looking an even better decision week by week!!
     
    DenaliDad and 48Packard Thank this.

    As an aside to the previous post also, I have not done more than 3 loads in one week...mostly 2 loads in a week and sometimes one (2k+) in a week.
