    I could handle that. Everyday. I honestly don’t know how you can leave your house after days off. Especially with retirement around the corner. I would be completely useless.

    Trust me my friend, it gets harder and harder every time. I would be happy if I could finish the next 23 months as a part time driver. Maybe one week on and three weeks off.

    Found out last year that I had an older brother. My dad apparently knocked up the neighbor during his first marriage. I finally met him in St Pete’s Beach last weekend. He lives in Port Saint Lucie. I could move in with him and take care of the pool and dogs while you are on the road. That way your wife can relax more. Its a win-win for everyone.

    Thank you!
    Congratulations to you also.
    Question… How are things going for you at Landstar? Do you still have the Freightliner?

    Still doing good over here. I sold the Freightliner 14 months ago, and bought a used 2018 International.
