    Currently I’m on medical hold. I couldn’t pass my DOT medical card due to high blood pressure. After a doctors appointment to change my meds, I should be back on the road by Wednesday. Otherwise I’m enjoying a mandatory vacation.

    Miles or hourly? I currently rack up 650 a day but I'm hourly. Really not much difference but hourly is easier to track.

    I’m hourly. I’m not complaining. I get paid pretty good.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Just found this thread and powered through!

    LTL driver in WI. Only drive about 100 mi. per day but make close to 20 stops in a 9hr (+-) day. Switched jobs just over a year ago, hourly beats the hell out of miles/stops. No more 12-14 hr days, no more 50+ hour weeks. And best of all, I'm making more than last job. Life is soooooooo much better. I feel for y'all that work Sats, I gave that sh$t up two jobs ago.

    I wholeheartedly agree that there is a lack of respect in the trucking industry. I had planned on staying at my last job until retirement. They drove me away, then acted surprised when I quit. Eff them.

    Been driving for over 41 years, local mostly, some OTR, regional, if I had to do it all over again I would never of have stepped foot in a truck. Zero respect in this industry. Can’t wait to retire, gotta a few years yet.

    Off today on the 4th, back to work on Tuesday. The driver that quit is coming back, we'll see how this goes. But maybe I'll get less shit detail, lol. Then again he's a major ass kisser so I'll probably still get it.:notsure: I'm not very optimistic at this point based on past history, I just take things one day at a time and one disaster at a time.

    That is a "Nice office" to enjoy the day...:cool: even an "Ant-Eater version"

    My 1st W-900 treated me well BUT my 2nd one spoiled me , it "rolled" a million miles the day I sold it to move back home...Lil Cat was rebuilt just once and at that time we did the clutch :D :thumbsup: For an Owner -operator , that is GOLD :hattip:
