^No doubt, I'd have a sleeping room arrangement.

I've done the calcs 100 times but I think someone else can do them this time if they want to see real numbers: Take that daily miles figure and, if you've never figured your actual cents/mile operating costs either do it or use the AAA's national average figure. Then take your hourly or daily wage and figure what it is NET. Compare and be prepared to !

Not only do many of these 100 mile 4x4 commutin' stoopids put in several more unpaid hours DAILY vs. someone like me, but they put in over half the day, every day just to suppoort their truck. In some cases I've mathed out the whole wad goes into the truck. I dunno about you but if I'd be pretty embarrassed to be working to support a truck. Even sleeping in and doing nothing would be a better option than that.
