    well I was trying to be a little less to the point about that. Who are we to pee in his oatmeal?
    Is there a divorce attorney in the house?

    It pains me to see that you were from such a lovely town in Kentucky. If you were from the hills, I could have questioned you to see if you had a brother who might have been stilling time with your sister.



    I would think that being out for 12 weeks would make me wonder why come home for the 1 week. I like being out for 3 weeks and then after being home 1 day I am trying to get out of the house. You don't make any money at the house. I am 57 years old and I have always worked long hours.

    I might add, I toured JB hunt and it seemed rather nice to be honest! now it is 3 months out and a paid week off! they average what you make in the 3 months and pay you the average for that week! Also if you go out for a year you get 4 weeks off that are paid! you can save them up! I am really considering JB after I do my first full year just because I want to drive! I have no family no kids and really what family I do have do not give me the time of day unless I just got paid.

    This would be a very tragic scenario for both the OTR driver and the mother to be.

    I stay out 3 months at a time and then take a week off. We get a running 30 day mileage count updated daily. Mine is anywhere from 12-15k miles. My week off isn't paid every time, we do get vacation once a year. I wouldn't mind my time off always being paid, but I wouldn't put up with the micro management that you have to put up with at jb. The only time my Qualcomm goes off is when I get a new load, lumper checks, or the very rare fleet message.
