You’re home every night, weekends off, decent pay, managers, that seem understanding, and you’re wanting to try something else? I work for a good company. I’ve been out here 10 years now. I have a flawless, perfect record. I never know when I’m going home. I never know how much Hometime I’m gonna get when I do go home. It’s usually a reset. I stay out up to 60 days at a time. Never knowing anything. My vacations are nothing more than bank days off. And that still falls short if you calculate year-to-year days off. I’ve never had a weekend off and in four years? Only two holidays off. Pay is great, but the grind is real!

My advice is to think real hard in real long before you jump ship and think something is better. Because it probably won’t be.

Trust me I do think about that a lot. That's what I like about driving locally.

Why limit yourself to garbage Florida government wages and not branch into the private sector? Those credentials easily earn $150k in the corporate agricultural sector with a considerably high work-life balance.

####. I never looked into that. I will check it out. I tried the petroleum restoration sector here in the Tallahassee area and it paid a little more than what I was making at the time but it was still under 50k. Bad part was that I laid off because of covid-19.

I think not. It ain’t like the old days. You’ll find out.

I saw that with US XPRESS and Cypress. So I learned really quick.

The landtard mook is playing you. LTL experience is class A experience. Tell them to #### off. Landstar op is probably some scummy outfit ripping drivers like most of smaller fly by night deals.

I agree with others, go back to white collar.

Beyond that, probably the most positive Central review I've seen. Ya got lucky. CT is the bottom of the barrel LTL.
