The best answer is it is very difficult. I try to rotate jobs so I am not on the road all of the time. I have enough seniority to hold a couple different road pools and a few halfway decent locals now that traffic has grown. Of course, when I know I'm going to need money (like pre-Christmas) I'll drop on to the extra board for a while. Holding a local for a couple of months gives me a more regular schedule even if it is a night job. That way I can fetch the kids from school and spend some time reading with them or doing homework. As for my wife, she hates the railroad life and would love it if I went back to the 9 to 5 world. How quickly she forgets that the job I had before the RR was more like 9am to midnight...and for less money and poorer benefits. In the long term, who knows, perhaps I will find a short line someplace... LC
