[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 3538393, member: 5053"] Drivers driving beaters because all their money goes to the third wife, while they live in an apartment and the first two wives live in houses he already bought, whose kids barely know their name... Those guys look with condescension at a self-employed long term PT hub worker with a paid off house, paid off cars, one wife, four kids who actually know his name, and hours and weeks of leisure time and no gray hair. My mama told me you don't have to jump in a trash can to know that it stinks. I look at all the 50-65 year old drivers and see guys that I definitely don't want to become. Their work ethic is amazing and they are great guys. No hate there. But the company ruined their world, and they barely even recognize it. I drove for a month as a temp. Forget that. It's not compatible with life. Even the number of hours might be tolerable if that workload was on an off-schedule. Instead, I had to say goodbye to my young kids on Sunday night and hello to them on Saturday morning. That's nonsense. That level of income is not a gift. It's a curse, as soon as that money gets committed to house, alimony, child support, car payments, etc. They're trapped and bitter, and constantly encourage and demean others who don't want to be like that.
