    Me? Better paying job at 40 hrs a week vs 70+. Got a really nice local gig. But the contract is ending (after 2+ years) so I'll probably go back...:biggrin_255:

    Just wanted something different or what would be thought of as "better".

    At any job I have had, the pay was good, the benefits were good, but I get tired of somethings, and just need to "move on", I guess.

    Never really had any bad dispatcher, yeah I know, that's not believable, I always told him (or her) that I would do my best. If I did them a favor, I would get favors in return, like extra days off, or loads going to far away locations for the miles.

    Over all, I got miles, pay and benefits, good equipment, but I have the nomad side of me that cannot stay put for more than say 6 years at any one place.

    Too bad too, I lost out on vacation weeks and seniority at some places, by not staying.

    But I just gotta move on.

    Lied to.

    I've rarely quit over money. I've done it, but it's rare.

    You get once chance to lie to me.

    Now that said. I have been lied to about my money. That usually winds up with me walking. No further questions needed.
