This is the EXACT type of trip I did day in day out in my decade at the regionals. I never want to smell a trip like that ever again. That is the definition of the grind. I was so burnt out by the end of it I was in a horrible mood and dreaded going into every single trip. I'm not saying your wrong to like what you like but I want to advise lurkers to choose wisely. I have been there done that.
I want the easiest lowest block trips I can get as long as it doesn't significantly impact my total days off. I like more money for less work. That's my goal in life. Easy trips are good for my body and mind.
I also spent nearly a decade at the regionals. It’s what reinforced in me that this is just a job. I come here and do this so I can maximize my time at home doing the things I really enjoy doing. I want to work efficient, high credit trips when I’m at work so I can spend my ideally increased time at home doing what I want to do.
