Over The Road Versus Local

[Matt]

I've gone from local, home at 6 every night weekends off to OTR and gone a month at a time and everything in between. Money is relative, what you call good I might not get out of bed for and vice versa. I run OTR 5 days out home on weekends, I have a girlfriend at home and right now this works for me. If I get married and start having kids well maybe I will have to reevaluate my situation. That's the beauty of it though, I dont have to initiate a massive career change if I need a different lifestyle, just a change in operation.

Look hard at your lifestyle and look for a job that fits it. If it doesn't work then readjust.
