Anonymous Coward User ID: 76406432 United States 04/21/2020 02:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its fucking awful. I'm an independent trucker... owner/operator. I work for months at a time with no days off when the freight rates are good. Now they are in the toilet. My truck is parked. Nothing worth hauling. Supply and Demand. Freight volumes have dropped drastically. Shippers and brokers are taking full advantage of "America's hero truckers"... pushing rates that have little or no profit in them at all for the trucker. Idiots are taking these loads, desperate to have any income to pay loans on their equipment. I don't see this returning to "normal" anytime soon. I have a very comfortable savings I can fall back on. But that won't last forever. My trailer is paid off, but still owe 80k on the truck. Truck payments have been delayed 3 months so thats good. If I don't get a longer delay on payments after this 3 months and rates are still not profitable, i'll be forced to default on the loan. I'm sure as fuck not going to make payments on the truck if it sits idle. This is my current situation.... along with millions of other small business owners in this country being fucked over by this globalist/media hoax. |

Senior Forum Moderator 04/21/2020 02:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Since I sold off my landscaping company in 2017 I've been working from home ever since. Maybe an odd job here and there. Things are as usual for me. Well my clients are actually being more conservative with their money. So I'm not working as much. But I still get by. So all is good. _______________________ |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78445587 United States 04/21/2020 02:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fine I’ll never go back. Working reduced schedule long weekends. Have read and done more things that matter than working to pay someone else’s welfare. I drag my feet at work piddle around and phone in the rest. Grinded hard for years doing the hard work. Now fuck everything and everybody. I am laid back as fuck. Hell might say fuck it to student loan debt and taxes in a year. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78295315 United States 04/21/2020 02:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LoL, I saw the title and It talked to me. I am writing a list of things to finish up at home and things that I would like to add to my home. Landscaping the backyard is one of them. Fixing the gutters, Getting a fence on one of the sides, building a nice green house, setting up an archery range in the back. etc. I cannot stay still nor put. |

Quoting: SweetDee Has the wife been getting on your last nerve? Did you send him to the couch? Are the kids starting to annoy you? How are you coping? I'm working the same as always, but commute time has dropped to zero. Not necessarily a "workaholic" but have been continuously employed (sometimes multiple jobs) all my life except 6 months in 1995 (worst time in my life, hated it, not looking forward to retirement). Which probably qualifies me as a workaholic in the eyes of most Millennials. The wife constantly around... gets old sometimes. I have a camping trailer I will go hang out in sometimes just to get away, watch TV, play video games, and just chill. So, I have a way to cope. Other than that, it's going great. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74962726 United States 04/21/2020 02:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Working from home. Decided to quit drinking about 2 wks in. In fact went cold turkey because I was like that's what's going to happen when they close the liquor stores anyway, no buzz lasts forever. I'm single and it sucked for several nights 1-5 in all. But now, awesome. I have no cravings because of this rona shit. My skin looks great as well. I'm 48 so maybe it was due already. I am saving money, lots too. I decided to get a new certification so my focus is laser like on studying. Coming out oof this better than going in. All those who stayed at home and did nothing that's ok. Don't waste your time too long. It's like when you get unemployed and collect, but you never tidy up the resume or look for a job for 6 months. Been there done that. I also walk 5-7 miles and a and skip rope daily. Oh did I mention the weight is coming off from no alcohol as well. I am not going to look like a fat out of shape hungover looking POS when I really have to go back to the office. All depends on what you do with it. This personal time. I can't imagine if I had some old lady busting my balls tp clean up my act during this time. I did it myself. |
