Friday's

Am I the only person who lives for Friday's. I know I'm just wishing my life away but I don't know how much longer I can keep working 52 hours a week! It feels like I'm working my life away and not getting anywhere.. Sorry I just had to get that out...

Me Too!!!!!! i need a break.... a 52 hr week sounds good though ...im always around the 70 mark

Could be worse guys, its a very slow time of the year for some, be thankful, keep your chin up, your families are greatful, even though they might not tell you that everyday.. Remember that on X-mas morning when your heading to church together, or to a family members house to celebrate, thats when you see that your hard work has paid off for your family..

Yeah that's all true. But when it's tax time it seems you work for next to nothing and pay outragous on taxes... I guess that could be because I have my own business. If it's not the state wanting money it's the city.. Joey I don't see how you can keep up with yourself. I know I could never drive the distances you do on a daily basis let alone a whole week.

Uncle sam gets his no matter what. Bad thing is our tax bracket. We make too much to get any good tax breaks and make to little to get the rich mans tax breaks. We are stuck in the middle. Which at tax time is the worse bracket. We pay out the nose. I know some that get back 4 to 6K a year. Wow that could go a long way. We don't have insurance and I can't get anything through the state. Sad thing is we could quit, load up on food stamps and get a check every month and have a medical card. Maybe we should go that route. We would be better off sometimes I think.

Nah too proud.

Yes sir! i thank God every day to be workin in a solid position when people around ya are gettin cut. Most people in the factories i pick up and drop off at were cut back to 32 hrs a week for almost a year or got laid off all together. Some of my loads were light but they still had to go, thats what kept me solid. Now things are back on the upswing,overtime for factory workers and people gettin called back to work,loads grossing over 80,000lbs again and dodging the scales ....I love Truckin Thats what keeps me doin it....and the $$$$ helps
