Veteran Expediter
As you all know by now, I left E1 and am running for Priority here in town. I was doing a combination of longer runs with some 100 and 200 mile runs and getting home often. I also ran bulk mail on weekends. About two weeks ago I was offered a dedicated run which ends up being about 193 miles a day in a big loop.
I start somewhere between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. and am home by 1:00 a.m. The money is is very good and I can count on it and I can enjoy the day every day and sleep in my own bed.
I am going into to week three and I think I hate it. I really do miss the long highway miles. The smell of diesel in the morning. It's like victory in the air. Oooppps! Sorry!
I run into a TST driver at a few of my drops and I know he has been doing the same thing and doing it for a while. He seems to love it. I know dedicated is what everyone says they want and I was no different but I am not sure this is for me. I miss the running.
Anybody out there done this type of thing and if so do you loose the need for speed and miles at some point? Should I give it more time to get used to? Just wondering
