Geez, Uncle Pete. You sure you ain't ripping him just a little?
I still don't know why we can't post basic day's pay or hourly rate and arbs and such here. It's not like we're bragging; just trying to answer questions.

And we don't live too normally either. Especially you road guys. I've actually got it easy these days: Thursday and Friday off. When I was younger and working the list, seven or eight starts a week was common. The checks were nice but sometimes I saw myself coming the other way on Route 80.
