Who has defeated 'burnout'? How?

Fun fact, airfare to San Juan, Puerto Rico is cheaper than airfare to Miami, from where I'm at. Next year, I'm planning a week there with the GF.

 

Take time off.

Discuss with your boss. You've been there a long time. Clearly you both like what you've got to offer and he wouldnt want to lose you. Tell him you need to get away for a few days and relax.

 

If you haven't figured it out by now, no one can tell you. It starts with you taking breaks away from the truck.

 

Yeah, The boss never gets burn out, it's that boss's job to understand. my boss is a fanatical company policy, text book junkie always trying to sell the product.

put in for some time if yah can

 

6 days a week for 18 years, gee I am stumped as to what you are complaining about. suck it butter cup and do 7 days a week that should solve everything.

 

I say take a couple weeks off rather then only a few short days after 18 yrs of loyal service with his employer he must have like 6 weeks vacation I bet.

 

I avoid it by breaking up the monotony.

Out on the road for 4 - 6 weeks,.. then home for 7 - 10 days. Only getting 1 day a week at home, or a few days after being out would get old real quick.

Need time to relax, enjoy life, actually have some quality time with family an friends. Need enough time to enjoy a hobby.

Life will quickly pass you by if you let it.

A little time off of course.

If you're going to the same places all the time see if you can mix it up a bit.

I think we all go through stages where we get a bit tired of the same old routine, especially this time of year.

If you can cut back a day.

Other than changing the job look at what you can do different when the truck isn't moving.

 

I'm a mean owner, I expect my drivers to work 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year without a break.

Yeah if you believe that, i have a bridge to sell you.

We have instituted a policy that prevents burnout, we have the drivers who don't take breaks (longer than three days) to get the heck out of the truck and spend some time somewhere else - no where near it. My manager makes arrangements for the driver to get to a hotel, or some other activity, sometimes at my expense. I've learned that you can't keep doing this and be productive.
