Reading this just triggered me into flashbacks and a panic fight or flight response.
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.

I hear what you’re saying but I also want to enjoy the places I’m at sometimes and explore areas, restaurants, get outside and go for a hike, etc. Also coming from a regional I hope it’s better here than what regional you came from and not “just a job and work”. You’re also allowed to enjoy your time at “work” and not just be a miserable slam clicker counting the seconds til you’re at home again. Just a thought.
I absolutely love the fact that I don't dread going to work anymore. Not hating the thought of going to work is in and of itself QOL. The L in QOL is Life, as in the entirety of your existence both at work and home. Ive known people who worked jobs they hated just because of the money. It always eventually affects your home life.

What I’m saying is I enjoy my time at home and mostly enjoy my time at work and not just constantly thinking man I wish I was at home and not seeing new places and flying this advanced plane but that’s just me. You can live your life how you want and have whatever attitude outlook you like but I try to make the most of what I’m doing and where I am.

This job is about maximizing money for minimum amount of work and that's what should be driving our contracts. That's QOL.
