    Heard Sysco pays well but you work for it.

    I could care less about the work to be honest. I’ll but my ### for a few years to pay off debt and then slow down.

    Age... I'm sorry. I was always following you, kiddo. I have a propensity to do that. Ask @MACK E-6 and @88 Alpha ...

    Us 50 something's aren't expecting a snow drift would take out. Anything's possible, however.

    Let somebody take your Polaroid, haha!

    Keep us updated.. I'm still here in your corner, if you'll have me.

    well to update you. I'm currently driving for Hartt out of Maine running "regional". It feels more like otr with regional pay. I'm often sent to Wisconsin after hometime. Doesn't matter to me since I'm used to being out like that. It's .55 cpm and they try and often works out to get me home for a 34 (which I take as 2 full days at home) reset. Currently driving a 2019 automatic peterbilt with apu and a fridge. It's pretty much want I wanted to do. I tried local but hours didn't work out
