My lease adventure

As my wife says the GOOD LORD doesn't put anything on us that we can't handle

 

I literally just jumped in on the last few pages of this thread, but I will also give my 2 cents on the local deal. 2 years ago I decided to come in off the road, I was out during the week and home on weekends, I live in central Florida and stayed with my current company, I’ve been here a little over 11 years, for me, and I reiterate ME, going local was the worst decision I’ve made in some time. The traffic here is horrendous, you take those frustrations home with you, my physical health has declined greatly from the stress, and it’s not worth it anymore. I’ve transitioned back to a few nights out, then home a few and have found some peace in that.

I’ve been at this game 20 years next month, don’t let that cliche line of “be home every night” suck you in, if you can find a gravy job with nice hours, and minimal stress then by all means go for it, but the likelihood of that existing has been minimal to nill for me.

Best of luck.

 

Wife has never been to a graveyard, a hospital burn ward, or a war zone I take it?

 

She says it won't be easy or the way we want it to work out but things do work out but I get what you are saying
