    Thanks for the input, and I like wore out's answer, take trucking out of the equation. Trucking for me now is more of "an ace in the hole" thing, as I still have my CDL (until 2018) and in a pinch could go back. I've had several "part-time" gigs in the past, and they all ended up the same. Starts out fine, then, "just take this one load to PA.", and before you know it, you're sitting in a truck stop in Ohio, calling dispatch every half hour. I don't blame the trucking co.'s, it's just the nature of the business, and if you go on with a company, you should be ready to go to the moon, if they need you to. I just don't want to do that anymore, but when you do something for 35+ years, it's hard to think of doing anything else. Maybe I should be telling this to a therapist.:biggrin_25526:
