    Didn't mean to jump you, sissy. Was just trying to help.
    BTW, you can draw SS now and it will give you a couple of thousand a month. Just gotta pay taxes on it.....but it's a steady check.
    Good luck.

    Copy that. Boundaries are good. Again, good luck. I hope it works well. I give you a lot of credit to be out here in your 70’s. Definitely a tough cookie!

    Gotta love those government taxes.

    Government taxes your wages, setting aside money for SS. When you draw SS, that money is taxed once again.

    I left the company driver game due to the cams looking at me and the microphones and the computers and the safety doofus calling me into his office criticizing my following distance and I’m like dude that video is rush hour traffic in Orlando you twerp.

    I started out Uber driver and post mates driver, delivering drunks their liquor mostly, now I’m running my own freight, my own trucks, small enough to skirt the DOT, sleeping in my own bed most nights, taking only the work I want. It’s not always easy, but it beats driving 40 tons while having a baby monitor on me at all times.

    Making more money than as a company driver even after expenses.

    So don’t believe you can only be a Walmart greeter or fast food worker. That’s nonsense. If you can work a smart phone and watch a butt ton of YouTube videos to learn the ropes and have a good vehicle that you don’t care how many miles you put on it then I assure you there are many ways to escape the industry. Even without a good vehicle there are options like gig apps for dog sitting and task rabbit where you can set your own price for your particular services.

    Good luck.

    update. Exit was smooth so far. Cleaned out truck, took a couple photos of it. Turned truck into shop and keys and card etc into dispatch. Mildly concerned no receipt offered, but I'm ready for the final check (which they will mail not direct deposit) to be insignificant.

    I'll let you know what it was in about 3 or 4 weeks when statement arrives.

    Meanwhile Bolt Goat's new adventure begins. Still haven't decided on name for new thread. McLeod seems touchie about social media so a version of "Da Cloud" is probably a wise choice.

    Goats eternal search the next chapter. I know it’s kinda bland but it leaves out any clues of company if they have any qualms with social media.
     
    Opus, 88 Alpha, Lonesome and 2 others Thank this.
