I don't know if this has ever been said but has SSB thought about just saying to hell with this industry altogether? Because I'm seriously considering it. He hasn't been happy for years, and when he has, it hasn't been for very long.

I told myself when I first got my CDL that I'd be ###### if I was driving a truck for 40 years. 4.5 years and I'm almost at that point. I'm burned out. Physical and mental stress both on the road and at home. Not to mention my physical health. I've put on 100 lbs since I started driving. That's not healthy no matter how you try to look at it. And to add insult to injury, I figured out that at the end of the day, I never made a whole lot more money than I did stocking shelves at Walmart when you factor in time I actually worked.

I'm at my limit. My current CDL expires on 5/11/2027. It's not getting renewed past that, and I will downgrade it to a regular drivers license at that time. This industry just isn't worth it.

You stuffed yer pie hole a 100lbs worth? I think I can now explain to Big Maude why Loves seemed to always be out of those chili dog roll ups.

I gave up on roller dogs years ago. I barely eat fast food either
