Nothing against $$$$$. But think of your health, safety, and family. I know too many guys that have ended up in a position where they HAVE to work every possible minute to maintain their lifestyle. Quality time spent with wives and children can't be offset by a bigger paycheck. Just my $.02.

when our ESL run was downgraded from team to solo..one of our senior guys swooped out and snagged it up...he was able to run solo if we hooked his set for him and the inbound guys broke it in the mornings for him...how is that for getting your own way??? instead of having the greedy person take a 1 night short run and hooking/breaking his own set (like everyone else)...
working each person 14 hours a day and paying the occasional OT prevents them from having to hire additional people who would inturn cost them more $$ with insurance and stuff...way to go dave!!!!!!
The best part of that run was ....known or not....I easily could have hooked and broken my set every night and still run the schedule 5 days a week ....90% of the year. ESL run is what the company called it....hell, 530 mi R/T......ESL my ***. Let them call it what they want.....right around 90K a year (at the time) ......yeah I was lovin life not hooking or breaking on a daily basis......sure.., most likely losing a couple grand a year by not hooking or breaking...Only a greedy M Fer would care about that 2 grand lost....Yup...90K a year....and not getting your hands dirty at the start and finish of every shift......Those were the days....Damn, i how miss them...Oh well, change is good.... at least I think.... sleeping nites is good for sure.
