I can't be the only one who feels like he's throwing his life away. I feel like even if you really love your job, unless you really have nothing better to do (I know some people really don't, and I guess if I didn't have a kid neither would I), but I would love to spend more time with my daughter, and take better care of my health and hygiene, spend time with my friends, and get back into my hobbies. Currently I have time to eat and sleep. Maybe at a game for an hour or watch a TV show. And don't get me wrong, I love my work. But the whole reason I stopped being an OTR trucker and went local (which has been a disaster to do btw) was to spend more time with my daughter, and I feel like I basically went through hell for nothing at this point, as I only get to spend a few hours with her a week between work and getting ready for work. Long story, but my point is to ask if anyone else feels the same way? Having to work your life away just to make barely enough to keep a roof that you never get to use over head.
