    If I don’t have to unload then I’m usually at work for 9 hours (7:00 to 16:00) that’s 508 miles driving each day.

    Oh Gawdy no!:eek: You dare let them outta the basement? You crazy?! o_O
    Just leave the millenials in the basements. They won’t know no different. Then...with grace towards the rest of us. They’ll die. Most assuredly with their smart phone in hand. :albino:

    I think it's rewarding. Even if i get drug through a cesspool, I wake up someplace else and am glad I wasn't raised there or have to live there. The bad thing is not being able to stop when you pass though the good places.

    i really dont have that bad, but while allot of america has pampered 9-5, 5 days per week..... that in no way describes my job, im working 8-10 hours per day 6 sometimes 7 days per week. working an 8 or 9 hour shift is not that bad though, home in plenty of time to do things like mow the lawn or take my kid in the pool.

    i dont need to work 9-5, while many people are making $4-500 per week, i make twice that or more. $10-$12 per hour, forget about it.
