[QUOTE="JoeLouis8850, post: 4340230, member: 77274"] Let me clarify some things since my wife has enlightened me about interpretation of what I said how I said. I know I’m very lucky to have gotten in how I did. I know that some of you had to suffer through hard times to get to this same spot. I worked very hard in an industry that is cutthroat and difficult to navigate due to rampant drug use and questionable ethics for 26 years. 99% of people in that industry either die in the same position they started in or leave the business altogether. Very few manage to advance to anything resembling a career. There were years when I’ve made 3,600 in the entire year(which led to my ability to make something on the side). So I paid my dues, I just paid them somewhere else. I’m not saying I’m better than a $400 a week job. I’m saying I’m at a place in my life where that isn’t enough. I know that I’m lucky to be at that place in my life where I have those financial “burdens”. And since I’m able to make enough on my own I’m willing to take my chances. I’m also saying that in my opinion that work deserves more compensation. my only questions are: Did the peak runs go to contractors? If so is that fair to newer guys who were even less lucky than I and didn’t get a peak bid at all? how long is the post peak slow season? [/QUOTE]
