how long has everyone been driving here?

Me? I actually take it at the homefront; wife has eats for me; have parking in my yard...so nothing lost there, actually. Better than OTR food, tbh! Just worked it into the 'new' lifestyle. Took me since last year to learn this #### QC after many years on paper. I still keep paper backups...all day everyday, in case this thing 'breaks' somehow, ya know...?!?

 

I've driven for just over 50 years. I'd quit from time to time and try other things but I always came back to trucks. For the last thirty years driving has been my major source of income. I have a couple of non-driving side gigs I do but they're mostly to help out family and friends.
I work in the office now or I'll be out in the woods checking on jobs but I still drive occasionally when somebody runs out of hours or needs a day off.
I still have a two year medical so I'll probably keep driving until it quits being fun.

 

3 years OTR
18 years local/regional day cab dry vans
2 years HazMat tanker

 

You pull milk tanks? That's some talent right there...(I've done it too, on the family farm in the 70's or so... (showing my age, dang me.)

Keep on, all ya can do. Listen to REO......i've bounced many times throughout this career, as well.

Gn, peeps.

 

ps: Kinda mirrors mine...the tanker was before the local with me... KUDOS, man.

 

Next year will be 40 years most of it as an owner operator or small company owner everything from cattle to animal feed’s been doing mostly Oversize last 15 years !!

 

1978..... it was called a commercial A then.

 

I got my class "A" when I was 17 back in 1982. I started driving local in 1998, and then I went back to an office job. That lasted for about a year and a half, and I started driving regional in 2000. I have left 2 times after that.

I've owned 5 trucks, and have run under my own authority. For the most part I stay out less than a week at a time.
