    Hi all,

    I used to frequent this forum a long time ago. I completely forgot about it until I started doing my research to get back on the road. I thought I'd at least drop in and say hello instead of just lurking around.

    I appreciate all the info on this site and perhaps I can contribute as well.

    Wife was military...we were trying to have a baby...we were getting relocated...truck needed O/H...seemed like a good time to step down for a while.

    Kids are old enough to fend for themselves now...I have a problem with authority...I can't stand working for "the man."

    Hahaha! Yes, old geezer for sure! I'm going to reactivate my own authority. I need to find a truck and get insurance before I can be reactivated. Then, I'll call all the brokers I used to run for and hopefully update my account with them.

    Amazon just reduced their requirement from fleet owners to single O/O's...what do yall think that will do for the load boards?
