Happy Labour Day to my fellow under paid overwork road buddies. Hopefully your home enjoying a 3 day weekend with family.

 

Thanks Evinrude,

I know I am enjoying the 3 day weekend at home, especially the holiday pay, which isn't as glamorous as spending it in a truckstop for free, but we can't all get the gravy jobs. :lol:

 

3 day? Try 4 days.....not sure why, but there it is.

 

I got 4 days off because I did something a lot of drivers never think about...
I ASKED FOR IT

 

I too have a 4 day (Fri-Mon off). They wanted me to take a great run to El Paso, pu in CA, then back home but I had to decline it - doctor appointment on Tuesday...

 

Well, let's see.... I may not qualify. I make MORE money than my BEST paying government contractor job ever. I work LESS hours than when I was self-employed. I "plan" to go out Tues nite (just got in tonight) but that MIGHT end up being 3 or 4 days because the SHIPPER might close for the holiday! And I have no family to share my time with. :sad:

Other than Christmas, holidays are just another day for me. But, I MAY break the mold tomorrow and go to the lake for a swim, just to look at the pretty ladies!

But.... thanks for thinking of me! :wink:

 

Let's see. Two days off(Sunday and monday), paid for monday, could've had saturday off but work 8 hours of overtime. Yup, life is good.

 

I had to work the whole weekend. :cry:

It was hell! We shouldn't have worked because every where I went their tanks were full. Evidently the forecasters got it wrong this Labor day weekend? The gasoline sales were way down in our area so we were having to go a good distance to find a home for 8,500 gallons of gas.

 

It was over too damn quickly.

I needed the extra day off. Didn't get paid for it, and I don't care.

Had friends and family and beer and steaks and other good food, and a good time was had by all, except my psycho freak show fruitcake mother.

 

Took 9 days off just to ride horse in WI. in Wildcat Mtns.totally relaxing!!!!!!!!!!!!
