new guy here

hey, been checkin out this site for some time and signed up a while back so I guess its time to be a lil more social which isn't exactly in my wheel house but I really do enjoy this site. ok, first off nc2m stands for nothing comes to mind, as what usually happens when I'm put on the spot when thinking of a user name.
a little about me, I've always been a truck fanatic ever since I was little which has been quite a while now, but spent a lot of time growing up around farm and construction equipment. I got my class d licenses which is now known as a cdl as we all know when I was 18 and did mostly dump work for a few years then did some flatbed and pneumatic, I got into the operating engineers when I was 25 and have been doing it for 30 years come November with very little driving except for local farmers. this past spring I was planning on retiring from the operators so I started looking for driving jobs and landed one with a local company that ran regional did a couple of weeks of training mostly because of peoplenet elogs, got my own truck drove for a month, went and checked out what my pension was gonna pay and since my kids mother was going to get a chunk and a 15% hit for early retirement I had to quit my driving job and go back operating, talk about getting the cart ahead of the horse! so hopefully in a couple of years I might be able to go back to truckin, nuff said
