Hanging up the keys

Good luck with your new venture.
With a pension and medical you are probably good to go in any endeavor you wanna try.

 

Good for you, we need more people like you to give a giant middle finger to these companies, and succeed. Put ME on some GD list, will you. So the company fired a good driver on suspicions, and are willing to put a possibly unqualified driver in your place? I think you did the right thing. The down side is, there's nobody left to haul the mail,,,

 

I know a lot of guys out there hustling the way you are and they’re making some serious money. I would venture to guess if you put in the hours you do over the road you probably could make more doing things the way you’re doing and be home every night I know a lot of guys out there hustling the way you are and they’re making some serious money. I would venture to guess if you put in the hours you do over the road you probably can make more doing things the way you’re doing and be home every night. My friend makes $1500-$2000 weekly driving Uber, doordash, and other side gigs. It can be done, You’re providing a service, that people want, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Just make sure you get paid accordingly

 

Yep, with all those gig apps you can make some decent money. One of my close friends started out with one of apps I think it was called “ Rabbit Task” doing minor home repairs, carpentry, lawn care. Just like you did he network and don’t really use apps anymore because he got so much work.

Honestly, I’m local driver and my company offers great insurance. Otherwise, I would be doing same thing. Most truck drivers I’m friends with don’t enjoy trucking anymore.

 

good for you. i retired a few years ago, but now i am seeking some sort of "part time" work to keep busy and buy more guns and ammo..lol

maybe i'll look into this "gig" work too.

 

When I was driving and wanted to have kids , I was planning to sell 4 of my 5 trucks and go back to driving just one .

then I tripped over a job at a nearby hospital on the maintenance staff.
Turned out it was good money and I enjoyed the challenge ,

and I was really burned out from babysitting four drivers while driving a truck myself

the new job was slightly less money but was 8-5 mon/fri

 

I envy you. I love doggies! I don't call them Intelligent Life Forms for nothing.
If I were to leave where I'm at. Try to drive from home town? No way. Nothing pays. They want me to be their maintenance ministry. ... Was just thinking today. I'd be better off working the counter at Pilot.

 

Sounds good. I'm glad it's working out for you. Please don't be tempted to not pay the IRS the real amount on all the money you make with or without the app. It works for a short time and then it will blow up our world. You probably are not taking that short-cut, but don't even consider it.
