<p>We earned about 67K one year on the road... I think it was 330 days on the road away from home out of 365 and half of those days were spent with just a few hours between runs emptying bloated mail boxes etc. I think we spent about 12 actual 24 hour periods at the house where one actually had a full night to sleep and a day to catch up on errands.</p><p>The money was good, very good in fact, too good. It piled up in the bank unspent. It really became a situation where you had a thousand plus dollar check deposited and it's like "Who cares?" 7 days later, another thousand rolls in... ho hum... back and forth from La to NYC twice a week.... fun. fun fun.</p><p>We dont live like that any more. We make do with much less each week and it is full of joy and enjoyment of home life when we are not completing our assigned hourly work. And good riddiance to demanding dispatchers who thinks the USA will stop functioning if that 4 month old moldy load of toilet paper and kitchen towels didnt make it to the reciever in time.</p><p>Because of our improvement in health at home we think that jobs that demand away from home time are best suited for young folk who are single and unmarried and does not own a home.</p>
