    Well in America you can change job if you choose.. so you are not happy doing OTR or are not making as much as a garbage man.. you have the right to quit OTR and become a wealthy garbage man...

    Another $5grand hit the bank, breakfast was good, the waitress was cute and laughed at my jokes. Been away from the house for 5 weeks, but I was at the house for a month cruising on two wheels. When the money disappears, some driver friends and I are planninghttp://chattablocks.com/hamilton-county-crimes/by-date/2014/6/12/133084/ a bike ride across the southern US and make out way out to Vegas.

    My question is, why am I having such a good time? Am I doing something wrong? Why can't I have something to complain about and be like everyone else? Started working on Monday, finished on Wednesday, off til the following Monday. I am doing exactly what I want to do, making the money that I want to make, driving the truck that I want to drive. What the heck am I doing wrong?
     
    scythe08 and Lepton1 Thank this.

    Unfortunately this industry doesn't require one to possess basic grammar and spelling abilities.

    Best job I ever had, I have no idea what the OP was about. I mean yes those things do happen but compared to office monkey work that's nothing.

    I rue the day I have to sit through another useless meeting, conference calls that go nowhere, idiot performance reviews, another reminder on my Outlook that I have to postpone for the hundredth time, read another outdated report, yet another office integration session. No and HELL NO.

    Give me a truck and the open road any day.
